Interesting idea. But then I suppose someone will want an AmEx thread, BofA thread, Discover thread, Juniper thread, Target thread, Chase thread, Citi thread, Hooters thread, First Premier thread, Alpine thread, etc etc ....

What do others think?

As lazy as I am and as much as I hate using the search function, it's a way of life lol Otherwise we'll end up with a page of stickies that'll just get ignored because there are toooo many

Plus there's a NEVER a shortage of people who will read and respond to a "Cap1 (is the devil/is haunting me/etc)" type of post

And I agree if we do one for Cap1 it'll snowball hehe

Yep the only info anyone needs regarding Cap1 is: STAY AWAY!

Oh Focus, Cap1 isn't so bad.

Stay on their good side and they are good to you.....
Get on their bad side and they can be a nightmare for you....

I guess it's like all the other ccc's out there.

Well, some underworked Mod can spend a few hours merging and pruning threads so we have one for each company

I would not dream of taking the fun away from one of our very deserving Mods. And it needs someone with Admin privileges to do it, so I am not eligible

I think it's much more legitimate for me to speak of my personal experience rather than extrapolating my personal experience into broad generalizations. In my personal experience, I have been nothing but "good" to crap1, and crap1 is BY FAR one of the worst companies I deal with. They really are in the small minority of inferior companies I deal with; of the CCCs of whom I am a customer, they really stick out like a sore thumb. If I were to include them in the same category with "all the other cccs" I deal with, I would be dignifying their poor behavior, which I think is a real dis-service to the really wonderful CCCs like Penfed, for example.

I understand and respect your opinion. I, on the other hand, HAD been nothing but bad for them(until I woke up out of my credit coma, a year ago). They kept with me, even though I didn't deserve it. IMO they are one of the best sub-prime ccc's out there, for people like me.

You have obviously moved into a category, I can only dream about, and you fully deserve those ccc's that will treat you in the manner in which you deserve to be treated. You are far beyond the abilities of a sub-prime ccc to service your needs, and my hats off to you.

Unfortunately, I am not in that catagory, but my goal some day, is to be.

syl- I completely respect your opinion*, I hope I did not offend. My apologies if I did. (*For example, if I see your handle, I am more likely to read the post b/c of it than otherwise -I really do value your opinions.)

I was not thinking cap1 was just a sub-prime card (I did not have "sub-prime"-category scores when I got the cards). Of the posts I've read, your comment "IMO they are one of the best sub-prime ccc's out there" definitely seems to be supported by others' personal experiences. This serves a great role. At any score range, I believe we (the customer) should use our cards, not have our cards use us! It's definitely possible to do w/cap1. But your comment "..isn't so bad.. good..they are good to you... like all the cccs out there", isn't supported by my personal experience with crap1 as a ccc, which for someone else reading this public forum, they may be interested in it before they apply for a card with them.

eta: just as an example of a supposed "uber-prime" ccc which resides next to my socks is Discover (altho' all of my experiences with their CSRs has been fantastic, I've been incredibly impressed with their wonderful CSRs). On the other hand, have I mentioned how incredibly impressive to me Penfed is...
