Ok so this morning when I woke I had an email from NFCU that officially welcomed me as a member. That email alone was as good an online app approval ! I applied for membership last saturday being sponsored by my sister and saw no reason to be denied. Anyway I am IN with NFCU.
Now my problem is I'm affraid to app for one of their CC's. In October or Nov I will be app-ing NFCU for an Auto loan but I want one of there CC's to start building my limits.
I was disch Chap 7 in 07/14 with current Fico's of EQ 655 EX 645 TU 635 Since July I have Cap1 MC 1k limit,/ Credit first Visa 500 / Firestone 1200 / Comenity VS 500 / and AU on Disco 1500 & Citi AU 2300 A secured loan from a CU for 2k with 1300 balance.
Ive burned a few INQ being impatient, One for Disco and another from Wally. Ive read that NFCU isnt too concerned about INQ but the BK and recent successful account worry me when I app for a CC from NFCU.
What do you think my chances are, and if Im only offered secured, should I take it ? do they graduate ? or should I just wait a while? I also dont want to blow my chances on the auto loan, So far Im on track for my rebuild with reasonable scores post BK. Although I have both MYFICO monitoring as well as EQ monitoring which is advertised as a true Fico as well. How come my EQ product shows my EQ Fico at 611 while MYFICO has me at 655 ? I absolutely hate that .
Anyway, I know many of you have a great deal of experience with NFCU. I feel so blessed being a part of their community. I hope some of you could take a moment and share. Thanks.
APPLY for unsecured NOW!

I think CA is a NFCU agent he already approved your application! If he says its approved its a done deal. Congrats!

They didnt give a CL and Im curious about it but on the other hand I dont care. I know in time I'l have a proper limit. Thanks for the advice.
