Not much of an expert on all the bigger lates & others.  But if they are all about 2 yrs old, I say pay them all!  It will most definitely look better on your report when applying for new credit.  Might even raise your score a bit.  Others that will fall off in a year, I say leave alone.  Just not worth it.


What others that will fall off in a year?

All my lates are from 2012-2013

Call and try to recon the 7-10 day message.  Give it a shot and see.  You took the HP for it already.

Thank you for the wealth of knowledge I have learned from these forums. I am logging off as of November 9, 2022. I wish everyone great success.

Then I would pay all of them.  It will make a big difference from their point of view.

IMO, anyting less than a year old, the heck with unless you're going for a mtg.  Then it's up to what they want.  It will look much better to show all of them PIF.  They know you're serious about your credit. Smiley Wink

Re: Barclaycard Rewards MC Approval Odds?

Ya, I called the Credit Analyst already, I heard the underwriter line might be useful?

Re: Barclaycard Rewards MC Approval Odds?

Application was denied.

Tried a recon, but they said I don't have an established enough credit card history.

They were okay with the chargeoff as I explained myself.

Was very honest, they loved the honesty when explaining my chargeoff.

They also said it was from 2012, which checking my reports I just purchased two nights ago from myFICO, it wasn't in CO status until late 2013.. Maybe they meant when I opened the account?

 

Asked, and they said the only reason was because my CapOne cards (only current cards I have) are only 2 months and 7 months old.

I asked how long would be expected for an approved applicant, and they said no specific amount of time, just as long as I feel is ready (aka not enough yet).

 

I also have ~10 months of employment in my profession. They said they typically like to see 3 years at least, but they were able to look past that.

Asked a lot of questions about prior employment, my education, etc.

 

The woman was very nice. Very helpful, friendly, and gave me a good image of Barclays (still).

I called the underwriter's 24/7 line.

 

Don't think I'll reapply for Barclays at all as I think when I'll be out of the garden again I'll want to apply for much better cards.

I probably won't leave the garden until both my CO and collection are paid, and I'm sitting over 700's across the board (or, at least 690).
