Credit Union! Really???

So i applied for DCU platinum and got approved for 5k! Unfortunately i took another pull for membership and was denied! So not a good start ... It probably due to my chexsystem that will fall off in 7/2013 .... Ill probably try again until then...i stepped out of the garden after 2 months ... Then i tried my local credit union that i been a member on for 12 years .. they gave me a 2k loc and. $500 cc 8 yrs ago...the credit card was closed due to a few 30 day lates.....sooooo i tried my luck and applied for the same cc and asked for $5k and guess what? They offered $500!!! And said i need to establish history with them....really??? I been a member for 12 yrs, i paid a loc without lates and only booboo i made was the $500 cc that were late a few times.... Wow, this was one of the credit unions that suck!!!

Re: Credit Union! Really???

Does chexsystems show that you owe any money?  If that indeed is the reason for denial then perhaps if you pay it, you may be able to recon with DCU....if that's the only reason.

Re: Credit Union! Really???

Why don't you just call DCU and ask them if chexsystems is the reason for denial?  If so, ask DCU if you clear this up immediately will you still be able to gain membership.   What have you got to lose at this point?  IMO opinion I wouldn't just throw my hands up and let it go since you were obviously approved for the card.  The memberhship is your obstacle so clear that up.

Re: Credit Union! Really???

Yea I understand that, but goodness you basically have the card in your hand!  You've gotten 2 HP's for it.  

 

Here is the link that you can send them an email about your application and make your plea.
