That credit line sounds low and uncharacteristic. My back story is simple, I took bankruptcy in February 2013. Since going through the most embarassing thing in my life, I have been able to redeem myself. Barclays Rewards only gave me a $ 500 limit. After 15 months of clear and present payment history, with no late payments, or anything, I demanded a CLI. I was not granted it and I was like "Fine, close the card". In the same day, I closed 4 Capital One cards. I get that I may be a potential risk because of my history, but I don't have to accept the creditors if they are not willing to accept me after I have made clear and complete payments for over 2 years. I saw that Williams Sonoma VISA was available and decided 'What the hell, let's go for it". I applied yesterday and got the "10 day message". By this morning, I got an email that stated I was approved. I was surprised because this is the first signature card I have gotten after the bankruptcy and have not bothered to check my credit scores or where they are. I believe my handling of credit should speak for itself. I logged onto Barclays and almost fell out of my chair. They are starting me at a $2000 limit. I think my prior card and it being closed out may have a factor in this. With closing out other cards, I have obtained a Pottery Barn Credit Card with a $ 2000 limit and a Target store card with a $ 1500. I guess I need to go check my credit scores because life does exist after bankruptcy.
