NFCU 3-5 Message

Well, I got antsy again...I have been a memeber with NFCU since February and I have a secured credit card with them, that I've rarely carried a balance on and always made multiple payments throughout the month. I applied late last night for one of their mediocre cards that I have been previously denied for.

 

I had to freeze my Equifax report because I noticed some unauthorized inquiries on there and thought that was my best course of action. They have always pulled EQ in the past (which is my worst), but I got a notice from Credit Karma today that they pulled TU. TU is my highest score at a fico of 643, I still have a small charge off with Macy's on there and that stupid collection from Midland, but everything else is clear. I have no missed payments and a UTIL of about 12%.

 

When I applied I got the 3-5 day message and no updates since! Ugh. So anxious! Anyone have any idea if you think I'd be approved or not? I go crazy with the waiting game and I know I've checked the status at least 30 times today. Haha. I read on some other posts that a lot of times people will get messages saying "a decision will be made in one day" or something along those lines, I'm afraid since I haven't received anything, that it's going to be a denial. However, when I have applied in the past and got the 3-5 day message, I was usually notified of my denial within a few hours. Ugh. I am overanalyzing. Somebody tell me what they think...Smiley SadSmiley FrustratedSmiley Embarassed

Re: NFCU 3-5 Message

This happened to me. I became a member in November and the next day I applied for the cash rewards. At the time I had all my reports frozen so before becoming a member i unfroze all my reports but EQ had a issue and when I froze EQ they didn't give me my PIN number online. I called and she said it was a glitch in their system and I had to wait for the letter to come in the mail with my PIN number. They pulled TU for membership and took a chance and applied for the cash rewards the next day.

I even had a pre-qualified offer for the cash rewards but when I applied I got the 3-5 day message. About 45 minutes later I got a alert that they pulled my TU and exactly 1 hour later (after applying) I got a message saying I was approved!! So based off my experience is they try to pull EQ and if they can't access that it gets thrown into review and someone in the back office has to pull a different report. For me it only took a hour (from applying to approval message) but of course that depends on how busy they are. Just remember if they do pull TU they use a whole different TU score then the TU 08 score that's given here.

I'm sure everything will work out and I'm keeping my fingers crossed!! Good Luck!! Navy is amazing. They just auto approved me for a auto loan a couple months ago and it was my first auto loan ever!

Im for me I got the 3-5 day message Instantly, then 5 minutes later got the 1 day message then 60 minutes later got my approval but like I said something they are busy and it takes longer. I would call and maybe ask for a update.
