I can't answer your question but I'm trying to compile some data points for myself. Do you know your FICO scores for the all three bureaus? I'm curious what impact the collection is having. Also, what is the breakdown of lates (30 vs 60 vs 90 vs 120 day)

Thanks,

IMHO, I think the odds are slim but I hope I’m wrong. I feel this way because you have just opened up 3 new CCs and the SLs are dismal. On top of this you keep applying for credit which is akin to desperate behavior in the eyes of the lender.

The rule is if you get denied, take a break for about 6 months before applying again. With 200 SL, you barely squeaked by.

So I suggest gardening for a minimum of 12 months before reapplying.

Received. Appreciate the advice. Just using up my last HP for the next 6-12 months. In the mean time I’ll make payments on time, maintain a low utilization.

On top of what Inspired already said, you literally picked the worst lender who is probably the most sensitive to credit seeking behaviors, especially having already denied you recently. Need a lot of time in the garden before making your next move.
