Re: Chase Chargeoff 7 Years Ago.....Another Chance?

Yeah I found the number 1-888-215-3049.  It of course says they are processing.  I will wait a day or two and call back.  I except to wait the 30 days for my denial.

Both times I've applied with Chase I've gotten that message, and both times I was approved.

So it might not be bad.
Here we go again...

I got the card in the mail before the automated line updated to approved. Not kidding. It is not a decline same message that I got.

*says to himself* Don't get your hopes up.  Just keep thinking you will not get it so you won't be upset

Re: Chase Chargeoff 7 Years Ago.....Another Chance?

OMG I just called the recon line to check the status of my application.  She said I was turned down because of three reasons.  First because I opened four new credit cards lately.  I told her I currently bank at BoA and they offered those to me.  Second I have two collections showing on my account.  I explained to her I am investigating those now, they are medical.  She then said the one I was dreading.  Well back in 2002 I show you have a charge off of $2,000 on a Chase CC.  (My mouth just about dropped).  Of course I said I don't remember those but I had problems when I was younger with my credit.  She said that's ok she understands.  That she would approve me for a $3,000 CC and would have it out in the mail within 7 days.  I wanted to jump out of my sit right then and dance.  Yes I do have $22,000 in CCs with BoA but my credit has gotten so much better even Chase with a chargeoff is willing to give me another chance.
 
Once again....thank you to everyone for giving me the courage!!

Maybe one day I'll get up the nerve to try it with BoA.... I hear they have a long memory too. Mine was with MBNA back in the day. It's nice to see a success story on this.

This is refreshing news!  Congrats Nice!  There may be hope with me getting a Chase someday, too!  I've been too chicken to try!
