Just wanted to make a quick post! Yay, I was approved for a Crown Jewelers card! I know its not hard to get but I am so excited that I will finally have something POSITIVE reporting on my credit report! Thank you all on this board, you have all been so helpful, and to everyone who is feeling a bit down, we have all been there! There is a light at the end of the tunnel.
Though its not hard to get, its better to have it than not. There's got to be a starting point somewhere, especially when there's only baddies on the CR. Congrats!!!
It's the first card I got and really opened the door and helped my scores
Goal: acquire and use Credit Cards, scores in the 700's in 2009 05/04/08 FICOS: EQ = 626; TU = 636: EX = 623 06/21/09 FICOS: EQ = 692; TU = 729; EX = 731 (CCT FAKO) 10/03/11 FICO EQ = 722 (CCT EQ = 749)
Congratulations Candice! I was approved for $1,500.00 from Crown Jewelers in May, 2008. I purchased a watch for $115 and made a payment in July.
When my new statement printed, they upped my credit limit to $2,500.00. The only drawback to Crown Jewelers is that they don't report to Equifax. Otherwise, it's a good deal for rebuilding credit.
Starting Score: 377EQ/350EX/400TU As of 11/2011
