Re: Any credit card advice

capital one if you get a pre-qual offer online

barclay rewards

a number of GE/Sync cards (walmart, Sams, Amazon, 76 Gas, Chevron to name a few)

probably a few shopping cart tricks (Jcrew, Express, Victoria Secret, to name a few)

You're in my boat 6 months ago. Scorewise anyway..

 

Unfortunately you will still be considered sub-prime at least until you're 45pts higher than you are currently. And thus are limited to the usual fee harvester scum lenders, CapOne, Secured cards, and a litany of store cards with loose U/W and mickey mouse limits.

 

Can your quest for new credit wait a little bit? Is there anything due to come off your reports any time soon that could help you get the push you need?

I could bring my util down to <10% which I'm sure would give me a decent bump... Only bads are two paid collections due to fall off in 2018 and of course the foreclosure which was finalized last October.. I suppose I could wait 6 months and reassess

That would be wise. Again, I know what it's like to be there, so don't be discouraged.
