You guys help me out here? Throw me all your opinions and what you would do in this situation!
They can take their sub-prime plastic and put it where the sun don't shine if they ever asked me for any of that!!
She said that it may be only 1 of these things or all 3, she couldn't be certain yet. I am going to be receiving a letter in the mail within 7 days detailing the information they are seeking. If its only 1 of the 3 things, I may do it but IM certain IM gonna say screw it if they are asking for a 3, esp for a silly CLI. That's really sensitive info and cap1 is diving deep into my financials. It is most certainly ODD. Definitely Do Not know why they are doing this to me.
-How long have you had the card?
-Did you have a history of running it up and PIF??
-Ever miss a payment/late/any AA at all?

The Exec Office Rep said that between the U/W's and me, we should be able to handle it now. But if I THOUGHT something was taking too long or something didnt sound right to me, she wanted me to give her a call back at her office so she could step back in and act on MY behalf, but she did not foresee us having a problem bc I "seemed" like a nice person and the senior U/W team is a "joy" to work with. The rep honestly acted like she would "defend" me if i had ANY (she kept emphasizing that word lol) problems. I can honestly say im dumbfounded and speechless at these recent events.
IMO it isn't worth it, but this is your account and it all depends on how you personally feel about it. I would take it as an insult if a creditor asked me for such things with my current payment history and other accounts in good standing.
LS, Im leaning that way as well, but we shall see exactly what they are requesting when the letter comes.

I guess thats true, but they have no reason to suspect that. I just think it is kinda funny considering its Capital One.

I would have a problem with AMEX asking me too but I would at least give it thought with them, not with Cap1. Were not even talking about a prime card, a rebuilder card CLI.

-How long have you had the card?
-Did you have a history of running it up and PIF??
-Ever miss a payment/late/any AA at all?
-How long have you had the card? A little over 3 years now
-Did you have a history of running it up and PIF?? Actually both, some months i would run it up to the limit an PIF and others i would carry a balnce but pay more than the minimum. I Ever carry a balance anymore, i was just doing it to try and figure out the CLI thing and why i was not getting one
-Ever miss a payment/late/any AA at all? Technically no. according to all the reps I have ever spoken to (its been alot) my account has ALWAYS been in good standing, even the Exec office said so, they show that i have Never made a late payment. BUT I know for a fact 3 years ago, when i first got the card, I made an online payment the day the bill was due and it did not post until the next do or 2. There was a late fee processed to my account but it disappeared a couple days later without my calling or asking. never heard anything of it since.

agreed!
Having worked in subprime lending previously, I assure you that other lenders do this.
Even traditionally non-subprime lenders, I had to provide proof of income for a *secured* card from DCU.
Also FWIW, paystubs (no biggie) and bankstatements (OK a little more unreasonable) are nowhere near as invasive as an Amex FR unless you're self-employed where you have to fork over tax returns anyway to prove income typically.
Personally I don't see any big deal with this as long as I get the tradeline I want... and if I didn't want the tradeline or CLI, I wouldn't have applied in the first place. It's the lender perogative to ask for supporting documentation and in these days of fraud being more common than it likely should be, I don't have any issue with this if it helps cut down on that. When you're asking a traditionally subprime lender for things, don't be surprised when you get subjugated with traditionally subprime practices... and I think in today's society and economy there will be more and more lenders doing this eventually.
