so i have no choice but to apply for another cc, which i did with capital one, and recieved a letter requesting validation of my social and mailing address.
has anyone else recieved this letter from capital one, and is that a sign of approval or just the next step before getting a denial letter?
my scores are low 600's with EQ tropping to 597 after the capital one inq. hopefully back up to low 600's after my overdraft credit line from the bank reports back to 0 next month from 300 of 500 this month.
any advice, greatly appreciated. im tired of trying, i dont really need the cc, i just need them showing on all 3 so i can get my scores back up from were they were a few years ago. i have no revolving on TU in over 2 years.
Do you have fraud alerts on any of your credit files? Most applications with such require additional verification before an approval can be made. I have fraud alerts on all of my credit files, and when I apply for new credit; my applications require additional verification such as a copy of my driver’s license, proof of address, SSN, etc...
Starting Score: 665

I had the same thing happen to me recently. 7-10 day message, I call in, they say that they were sending me a letter requesting verfication of my address and SSN. He said something about it being something with cA law?!?! Unsure what exactly that means. Had a similar thing happen to me with BBRZ-MC, and was approved after providing my home address. Uncertain of this is the same, so I would like answers as well to any experiences regardless of ramifications if you send it in or not....does any one have any experiences with this?
I would like to know as well, and I HAVE already provided my info via the fax provided throught the Account rep at the backdoor number. Very helpful individual.
Good...same deal here. Did they tell you what your CL was?
I applied for the same thing and received the same letter. I do have fraud alerts on my credit files, which is why i suspect i have the letter. Mailing it off on monday.
