Re: Approval chances for discover it w/ch7

my mom filed for a chapter 7 late 2011, fully paid in 2012, she got a discover preapproval in the mail this year and approved for 5k.    she never had a discover card before the BK so im not sure if that plays a role.  her FIco scores were 691 and 695.  never had a baddie or late ater that BK.  I checked her report for her a few weeks back and the BK shows as paid on her judgement section of her report.  shes at 702 now.   definately possible to get with discover after bk .

 

EDIT, opps didnt see your reply.  Congrats.  nice SL.

Re: Approval chances for discover it w/ch7

With DISCOVER it's definitey a YMMV....we were DC'd in August/2015 and I had a DISCOVER IT card then and did NOT include them in BK. In January, I was messing around online and went to their pre-approval page and to my surprise got a preapproval offer.  I know it's not very reliable, but I figured we had a previous relationship with them and maybe they wanted us back. My previous CL was only $1K (never could get a CLI but didn't use the card much anyway). So anyway, I hit apply and got approved for $800.  I've had 2 CLI's since then and it's currently up to $1800. We use it mainly for the 5% categories.  I think at the time my FICO was 650 or so.  Coming up on 6 months now so about time to hit the luv button again (have been couple of times a week ). I'm hoping to get a pretty good increase as we always PIF and make several payments a month.

 

 

Again YMMV and who knows how their UW works.....hope this helps

Here is my experience with Discover.  I had BK chapter 7 discharged 6/29/2016 and on July 6th 2016 I applied and  was instant approved for a Discover It Card SL $1250 and I never had a Discover Card. I tried 2 times before the discharge and was declined due to bankruptcy reporting.

I may be the exception but I was approved 7 months after my BK7 discharge. I tried at 4 months was declined. They gave me $1400. Wish you luck !

Re: Approval chances for discover it w/ch7

Congrats OP!
Looks like they LOVE you!. I really would like to push Discover from my memory and just move forward wirh lenders who are willing to work with me but its really hard when most posts here on the forum are about Discover or Amex, 2 cards i cant get Smiley Sad Should just garden hard and stay away for 2 years from this site but it just too hardSmiley Happy. Anyway yours is a reason why one should at least try if one desires a Discover and has or had a bk, you just never know what they want in their clientele. Enjoy your limit and hope it grows well for ya Smiley Happy
