Penfed is VERY conservative.  They strongly dislike public records.  They denied me for a secured cc w/ficos in the mid-high 600s JUST b/c of a 7 yo tax lien, so I’m not sure they’d give you a cc w/a recent bk.

Can you join usaa or nfcu or a local credit union (maybe alliant- but I’m not sure if they’re bk friendly)?  I was really turned off by penfed’s attitude…holding a 7 yr old baddie against me like I was some kind of criminal…I had more than enough on deposit w/them to cover a secured cc, but they gave me ‘no way, no how, not going to happen’ in return.  Seriously, denial for a SECURED cc?  Just didn’t make sense.  Oh well, USAA just gave me a secured cc + soon I will get 1 from NFCU.  Sometimes denials from 1 place turn into better things @ other places.

PenFed does not give high CL unless you have excellent credit and income to justify.
