Next Steps

Hey everyone, I know I have said this before, but yall ROCK!! Yall have helped me from the low 500's FICO scores after my BK7 discharged 2/2013 to now, 620-670 FICO.  I have at QS with Cap 1, the $19 annual fee with a $3300 CL and I just PC'd my Barclays Financing Card (the white one) over to The Rewards Mastercard.  I have a $1700 limit on that one.  I will have a 14% CCD UTIL once they update over the next week.  Just paid them down.  Coming from 96% util to what will be 14%.  Anyway, I really want to get in to Chase and or Discover.  I want to take the next step with my credit to help benefit my wife and our families needs.  Mainly rewards stuff.  The current cards do those, but I want to get into the "next tier" if you will.  The credit sim says my Score should be* around EQ 620 (waiting for 7 baddies to age off by June**EX and TU deleted them early, but I can't get EQ to budge)  TU will be around 640 and EX will be around 675.  Do I have a shot at getting into Discover or Chase right now?  I know Chase does EX a lot and TU as a back up right?  Discover is mostly EQ?   Side note, I did apply about a year ago for Freedom and was denied due to not enough re-build after BK7....Now a year later, my scores are up about 65-100 points...Thanks everyone!

Re: Next Steps

Chase is pretty much a no go with a BK reporting.  Some have gotten in at 7 years if they did not IIB them.

 

Discovery does take BK's but it's kind of hit or miss.  They do pull EQ.

 

 

If you find a way to get in with Chase, PM me!!!

Re: Next Steps

Oh really?  I have seen MANY on here with a BK showing and them getting in with it being a year removed from Discharge.  I have seen many other way as well.  Do you have a Discover?

Re: Next Steps

 just got declined for Discover (again).  Scores are 680-695.  Discover doesn't like me.

 

I have asked a lot about Chase and always told no.  I would love to hear of others who have gotten it with a BK showing.

 

 

Please keep me posted.  I hope you get in with Chase -- that would give me some hope!
