Bad Marks with good scores? Eyeing CSR

Hi all! I have a question on the relevance of poor Mark's on reports vs the actual score. Is it as simply as a score is a score or do late payments, charge offs, collections ext.. still hold weight regardless. I have decent scores, but my profile is far from clean. It's been a small dream to land the Chase Sapphire Reserve but I'm hesitant to apply. Ideally I should wait until my reports are all cleared up, but Im going on a large trip next month and I could certainly benefit from its perks.

My scores read as such:

750 - TransUnion (3-30 day lates)

725 - Experian (3-30 day lates, 8 year old charge off, 2 medical collections) The charge off will be coming off with-in days/months.

788 - Equifax (3-30 day lates, 2 medical collections)

Cap One: CL 6,000 - Chase Freedom: CL 3,000 - Bank Card: CL 5,000 - Synchrony: CL 500

Oldest Credit Line: 13 years

Credit Utilization: 2%

Inquiries: 1

Income: 70k

Thank you for any input!

How recent are the derogatories?  If you don't get an auto-approval your application will go to a manual review where an underwriter will look over your credit report and those derogatories could be cause for a denial.

 

I suggest you read the last few pages of <mod edit> for a feel of what can occur.

Makes sense. Most recent late was 2016. Collections are from 2014.

Unfortunately the link did not work.

If you only have one inquiry on your report just apply.

I just applied! Got the 30 day review notice, called to check status a d recieved the same message. Ugh! We'll see... nervous that the derogatories, especially on Experian will be my downfall. My Equifax is much stronger. I suppose I just wait and see. Was hoping for a instant approval or denial so I could combine pulls and apply for a preferred if denied.
