Is it possible to get a credit card with the same company you got a charge off from ?

I will be done paying off the charge off through the collection company as of tomorrow and I was wondering if it was possible if I could get another credit one credit card to help rebuild since all my baddies, but 1 will be paid off (a $61 collection)..

going the secured route is ALWAYS better than going to CreditOne or FirstPremier.

Try capital one I got a platinum card through them only a 300 cl . And I had a previous charge off with them but it was paid in full when i applied. You can see if you can get preapproved on their website.

Looking at your scores you must have some recent baddies. Have you attempted any PFD's on this?

My most recent baddie was a 30 day late in August and a medical collection for 70 I paid in December.. Other than that 3 charge offs from 2009-2010 as of tomorrow all 3 will be paid off.. And no pfd, No one was willing to budge..even the medical collection agency told me they couldn't do it because it was too late and I had previously set up an arrangement and didnt follow through .. My fault I suppose.

Wow that sucks, the 30 day and recent collection is what is killing your score. I'd try to GW that 30 day.

I doubt they will.. I tried to GW them when I totaled my car and my gap insurance didnt kick in for another 2 in a half months after.. And they stI'll have me a 30 day late.
