I trying to get my scores to 700 before I apply but I didn't know if lates would not let me get approved. Also no other baddies 8 open td no lates. Looking at discover it or boa 123 By then 2 inquiries no matter whose pulled one is an auto loan.

Re: late paymrnts

I think 2 years is the magical time when 30 day lates start to hurt you less. Don't know if that also applies to 60 day lates. The credit card board would have a better feel for what it takes to get a Discover IT or that other card. Discover IT seems to be really hot over there and Discover tends to be more picky in general, though - probably even more so for the IT. Maybe try GWing those lates....
