Re: Capital One Credit Card After Bankruptcy

I have absolutely no data to back this up - but perhaps it may make a difference as to how much your balance was that you included in your BK with C1?

 

I could see them not being to willing to lend a hand if you had a 30k balance when filing versus a 300........

Re: Capital One Credit Card After Bankruptcy

Thanks for the advice. I bit the bullet and went for it after checking the preapproval form online, Got approved for a cash rewards card with $1,000 limit. These forum is full of great advice, by paying off my cards last month was able to get approved for a number of offers just 18 months post bankruptcy. I am now planning to move into the garden to grow my little seedlings and work on getting a few errors cleaned off my reports. Thanks one and all for all the great advice.

I also burned capital one in my bk. They approved me for a secure card 200 limit and a classic card 300 limit. These are my 1st 2 cc.

Re: Capital One Credit Card After Bankruptcy

I burnt CapOne in my Bk7 back in 2010 for like 3k or less. Now I am holding their QS1 with 3k limit and got instant approval for their Venture Card on Sunday night with a credit limit of 10k. I have no idea how or why I got approved because that card is supposedly reserved for those with "excellent" credit. I am happy. I couldn't believe the approval was real and called CapOne today to check the status of my application. The lady said I was approved ! Now I know I am not dreaming. My first 10k limit visa signature card. All my other cards are under 3.5k limit.
