Long... struggle to Chase Freedom

Declined initially on 2-22-2013; called for reconsideration today... if there's one thing that this forum has taught me... persistence and DON'T take "NO" for an answer.

 

So, after thinking and saying, nah... I called today.  Lady came back and said, "No... you have two active collections."  I said, "No, I don't."  She says the report says... I said, it's wrong, I paid them off about thirty days ago [...edit... were from 2008 and 2009 -- paid so I can tell a home underwriter see there paid].  So, I fax them in... and "waiting is way overrated -- to whomever has that in the siggy line."  Called in ten minutes later, they searched the fax que, found them, I said... I'm not a credit risk.  They gave me a$2,000.00 initial CL.  I'll take it.  NFCU and Chase are two cards I like having.

 

I will not give up my Barclay's though; they re-established me after my horrible youth... I feel like I owe them my loyalty for awhile.  Now... just to get to Amex. 

 

Keep fighting the good fight; as I told the recon line... I don't always watch the football game, sometimes I play even if I'm not invited.
