I've only had 3 accounts ever opened. 2 opened on the same day that I combined and then one more that was opened 6 months after. He confirmed the last 4 of both accounts I did have, the 3rd that was combined wasn’t listed. However he said there are 2 more. These aren’t mine and don’t show on my reports. He said he's looking into it and will call back in a week. I’m interested to see what these other 2 accounts are because I believe that is the issue I’m having. He said he was familiar with the 1 year post charge off and doesn’t see why I’m having the issue. Also couldn’t open the account details since it was so old. I’m wondering whose accounts these are…?
OP, could these "unrecognized" accounts be something that was originally issued by a different lender and "acquired" by Capital One? My old closed Capital One accounts include a card that was originally an Orchard Bank credit card that was acquired by Capital One and re-issued by them. Just a thought. Hope all works out for you!
My only other options are 1) Barclays (apple Visa or other "easier card") never IIB'd Barclay’s so that’s a step. However, I'm not really looking for at the moment because of the number of new accounts I have. I was going to wait till April for that. 2) I'd also like to get back with discover, but they still reference the status of a prior account. 3) Even if in a few months my Nordstroms got a cli and converted to visa, I'd be happy with that for the time being.
I feel as if I've already tried all the options I've had with cap one especially after the past 2 months with the EO. And I'm not sure how long this blacklist will be. I was mainly interested in them since I know it'd grow pretty quickly over time. Overall I need to find a card with a decent enough limit to use for everyday purchases. Right now I'm mainly using my WF secured, but there aren't any rewards and I'd really hope that it un secures in a normal time frame so I can PC to the propel.
It's just frustrating since it seems that Cap One is usually very forgiving, but not in this case. I will note however, before the 1 year mark I was not able to obtain any store cards with cap one yet after the 1 year, I've gotten Neiman Marcus and Saks 5th. They also pre-qualed me for an auto loan. So it seems they aren't completely shutting me out just the bankcard portion. If anyone has had capital one closed due to a retunred payment, please let me know if you were able to get back in and how long!!!
