What Credit Cards would I qualify for?

[Superman85]

I’m currently trying to add one more CC to my credit report. I already have a WF secured CC which I’ve had for almost a month but I want to have at least have 2 cards before I start gardening. My current scores are 584 TU, 598 EQ, and 623 EX. I think Capital one runs your Experian report so I’m thinking I might have a chance at an unsecured CC with them if not a secured with a small deposit. I’d love some feedback!

Just based off your scored Capital one might not accept you or maybe will ... they do pull all 3 reports

Agreed. Your scores are quite low and may arise issues. Do you mind sharing a bit more background about your credit report and financial profile? 

AAOA, income, baddies, utilization, inquiries etc.

Sure I’ll share….

WF has not reported my utilization yet, but I’m keeping it at 9%. I have 2 collections on my report from 2011 showing on all 3 CRA, a 2011 CO from an energy provider on my TU report only, a 30 day and 60 day late payment on an installment plan loan from 2013. I do however have 2 other installment loans in good standing and a car loan with a clean history for 6 years that is about to be paid off in August.

The two collections, what is the status on those? Are you thinking of settling that? 

I started with a WF secured credit card, and a Capital One secured credit card in 2012. I also had a student loan reporting in 2011 that started my journey. The secured CC's do help out, but your baddies overshadow the help that the secured CC's provide. That should definitely be your first step. Trying to get those baddies settled.

After looking at that list, I honestly think you need to drop in on the "rebuilding" section before coming to the regular CC section.

The 2 collections...

1...are they paid off?

2....who are they with?

3....do your reports show the original creditors and a collection agency?

The installment lates...what are the dates on those late payments?  Is that account paid off?

You might have a chance with GW letters regarding these baddies.  I learned here years ago...repair....then rebuild.  You'd have a much better chance getting nicer cards if you can get your reports cleaned up a little.

Believe me....been there!  I had 13 baddies & 2 good years ago.  Then I cam here & read a ton & asked even more.  These wonderful folks got me into the 700+'s

Thanks for the advice bungalow. I've already gotten 9 baddies removed in the last 5 months. These are the lat baddies I have and I was just wanting to see if I'd qualify for a bottom level unsecured or secured card from capital one. I understand I still have a ways to go in the rebuild process.

The collections are not paid off, I currently am waiting response from DV letters I sent them a few weeks ago. They are from a broken lease and one is medical. The charge off is under dispute as well with TU for incorrect reporting.
