My Primor cards are now reporting as Berkshire Hills

[Geordi]

Looks like Berkshire Hills acquired First Choice Bank on June 27, 2016 and the merger is now completed.

So I wonder what the future holds for those of us with Primor secured cards?

Does anyone know anything about Berkshire Hills? On their website they have both consumer and business credit cards. Also both secured and unsecured credit cards.

I was seriously considering closing both of my Primor cards but now I am going to wait for a year to see if anything good becomes of this. In particular whether the future holds the possibility of gradulation.  Anyways, it is always good to hope.

Mine reported Berkshire then changed back to first choice on Equifax

I know this is a bit old, but worth a try.  Does the primor card show up on your credit report as a secured card?

Does anyone know if this reports as unsecured with Berkshire now? Thanks!

As of September 1st, Green Dot purchased First Choice Bank credit card portfolio.

My credit repair phase is now complete with scores in the mid to upper 600s.

I am closing my two Primor cards since they have served their purpose.
