Navy Federal Credit Union (NFCU) and Discover

I've been watching these boards quite often, so I thought I'd contribute.  My score from credit karma was around 620, but I've been decreasing my debt-to-income ratio and available debt ratio (just moved below 50%). Just applied for Discover (Equifax hard pull (HP)) and Navy Fed (Equifax hard pull (HP)).  Discover wanted a joint appicant and Navy Federal approved 7K (wow).

 

Regards!

Re: Navy Federal Credit Union (NFCU) and Discover

I appreciate it. Reading these boards pushed me to apply because I heard that NFCU has been fairly generous on their new accounts.  I think for those of us who have had troubled credit in the past (i.e. bankruptcy from 2002), this is a god send. I won't ever mess with my credit or put it in danger again.

Im pretty sure they will not pull TU for my application but Ive waited so long to apply for it, I have to wait for updated UTIL to post.

I applied last year once or twice and was denied. Both pulls were from Equifax.
