To All,
Just wanted to post about the military star card for anyone else in the Armed Forces who has to IIB their Star Card.
I burned the star card for about $15K, of course my SSN had a block due to the debt.
After discharge I tried applying on line, no luck, letter said my credit sucked (paraphrase of course).
After I got a few lines of credit under my belt I tried again, this time no luck because my SSN was blocked. I called their bankruptcy dept and had the block removed.
I tried online AGAIN and got the same letter about my SSN being blocked (this is all within about 45 days).
Today I spoke to a rep who confirmed that she removed my block finally and that I should be good to go.
I decided instead of applying online that I would try in the store because I needed to pick up new uniforms anyway. I had cash in my pocket but decided to try and BAM! The block was removed because I got a $3150 limit for retail and a $500 for military clothing. I was so excited!
My FICO scores are (not looking right now) between 580-595 for all 3 CBs. I am looking forward to taking care of this account this time as I slowly work my way up the ladder.
if you had a military star card, there is no blacklist just have your SSN unblocked and I would say try in the store versus online!
