Whats more irritating is them sending me preapproved mailers every week...


Have you reconned them?


Yes, they won’t budge.

They pull EQ for me, 720+ each time. It never showed as charged off just as transferred. They sent it to a 3rd party that I payed off. Yes, they can see it in their system that it’s PIF.

Re: Discover blacklist

I went on their site and did the pre-qualify and was instantly approved for the discover it, chrome and miles. I took the miles and was approved with a SL of 10k. It would never show me pre-qualified when I checked before.

This is the first time I've been able to get back in with them since my bankruptcy that was discharged in 2003. I did pay them back through bankruptcy though.

Re: Discover blacklist

Another data point to add. Husband BK'd in 2010 and got a mailed "prescreened" offer. Did the online pre-qual and it came back with a LOWER rate than he was shown in the mailer (13.49 vs 14.49) and he accepted. Had to to a quick text chat w/agent, but they approved him for 13.5k. Maybe because he was an authorized user on my account?

Re: Discover blacklist

I got in over my head with credit cards about 16 years agoAt the time there were all kinds of ads for credit counseling, so I decided that would be a good idea.  And it would have been, had the company that I went through not been a scam.  I lost thousands of dollars and my credit score tanked.  I had a Discover at the time, and this company allowed it to completely charge off after I had sent in a cease and dissist letter to them forbidding them to contact me.  I didn't actually even find out the extent of the damage for a few years.  I applied a few months ago for a Discover and was finally approved.  I had applied about a year ago as well, but my utilization was much higher at that time and I was denied.  They won't blacklist forever, but they will be extremely picky about extending future credit, at least in my experience.
