Re: Does Cap1 Blacklist?

Yes, but I'm wondering that since it's a judgement and not a chargeoff that I'll get an instant denial ? =/.

 

Thanks for everyone's input!

About six moths ago, after receiving several pre qualified letters from them, I figured what the heck, why not. Applied online. Instant denial. Got the letter a few days later, explaining my derogatory history with Cap1. They didn't even bother with a hard inquiry though. I think I'm on their "damned to hell blacklist." I just wish they could know I'm a good boy now.


CrapOne definitely does blacklist, as you have discovered, but they seem to have unusual criteria for including people on the blacklist.  Maybe it's a three strikes policy or something similar.

I got a letter yesterday from Cap1, which in part reads:

 

Michael X. XXXXXXXXX:

 

CREDIT UPDATE: Effective 2/10/11.

As of 2/10/11(This just so happens to be my birthday), you're eligible for this offer with our lowest intro rate so you can save money and strengthen your credit.

You'll get a manageable line of credit blah, blah blah...

 

Use this card responsibly and you can strengthen your credit while you save. Apply today.

*****************************************************************************************************

 

This sounds as though they may have forgiven me for my past transgressions and are willing to let me back in. What do you think?

 

Also, I tried the link on their web site and was pre-qualified for:

*Capital One® Platinum Prestige

*VentureOneSM Rewards

*No Hassle CashSM Rewards Card (This is the one I would like to have)

Primary Benefit:

2% cash back at gas stations and grocery stores
1% cash back on all other purchases

Purchase APR:

0% Intro APR until February 2012
16.9% variable APR after that

I would like one more major CC. One with a decent CL, cash back and no annual fee.
What do you folks think. Do I stand a chance?
All I want is one more card and we will be done forever.
Any and all advice/recommendations is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Re: Does Cap1 Blacklist?

I just sent a Goodwill letter to Capital One a few days ago because I was approved on their pre-Approval site for a Venture card but then was denied due to a past co from 2001. So its been 11 years and I can't recall at all having an account with them. They also have no record other than charge off amount and date. Wouldn't Goodwill it out of their system. It's never been on any credit reports.

 

I got approval for their Crapital One starter card 2 years ago via the same system and have a perfect record with that card too. When I mentioned this they told me basically "Sure we will offer you a high Interest rate card that will NEVER increase in credit line but we will not let you have our decent products". Wouldn't tell me a date or if and when it would purge from their system and didn't seem to care that they can't validate the old debt.

Re: Does Cap1 Blacklist?

This is soo funny... I was just soo lazy yesterday to even start a thread on this. I was being transferred back n forth all day. Just like you i was pre-qualified for their top tier products and had a previous account that was late. The recovery dept cant tell me abything about the debt but that it was paid in full and no oen else even cares. A senior account specialist gave me the talk... "we are a conservative bank....! I just gave up.I'll stick to my credit rebuilder thats also stuck at 750 CL!

My husband had a Cap1 account that he included in his BK in '02. I had a Cap1 judgement that was removed by disputing from 2 out of the 3 credit bureaus. When I applied using the pre-approval link, it said that I qualified for a card. But when I tried my husband's, it said that there were no offers. What would my rate of approval be??

 

I was thinking instead of a CC, an auto loan with them? What would my chances be if I had a judgement with them that's been removed by disputing?? 


I've heard from alot of members here that Cap1 is very forgiving when trying to rebuild.

Re: Does Cap1 Blacklist?

Kinda sorta.  For prime cards yes.  Rebuilding probably not.  Cap One wouldn't have a lot of customers if they did.

Re: Does Cap1 Blacklist?

I agree with above...I had a charge off with them in 2009 and they just gave me the No Hassle Rewards in November 2011. I think you can be eligible for their rebuild or average products but they will deny you their Great Credit/Prime Card products.

Re: Does Cap1 Blacklist?

Yes they do blacklist, however their reasoning behind who they blacklist eludes me.

 

I had 2 cap one cards, both went into collections, one i paid off and the other went through my BK. I was able to get 2 more a year later.

 

My wife had one cap one card that she never missed a payment one that went through he BK, and they refuse to give her another one. When she has tried they send her a letter stating: Due to her past history with them they are unable to give her one, and they never pull her reports.

 

So they do blacklist, but I don't know why they blacklist the people they do.
