Is anyone going to ask OP what's dragging their scores down? 

 

Showing a bk, judgement, CO, etc etc etc... affects how specific lenders will greet you with open arms, not just 'scored this.'


Uh, thought I disclosed that in my original post.  I had a lien that was fully paid in 2011.  It's due to come off in 2018

Saw the phrase 'no bad debt.'

...gives tme the best chances of being approved?  My current FICO 8 scores are TU 686, EX 683, EQ 643.

 

I have no bad debt, one 30 day late from last year and a paid in full and released lien from 2011.  I just bought a house in March and that mortgage loan is already showing on my reports.

 

I currently have Cap One Pl $2800 CL, Amex Optima $1000 CL and Kohls $700 CL


My first choice would be Cap One Quicksilver or Barclay Rewards.

Re: What Credit Card...

I applied for DiscoverIT and it asked me to upload proof of current address and proof of social security #.

 

Is this a good sign?  I uploaded and the next screen just said

Re: What Credit Card...

Applied for Discover IT on Saturday night and was asked to provide proof for address and my SS#. Uploaded that yday and this morning got a call. Answered a couple of questions and was approved for a $6.5k SL.

Was worried about my EQ score but sailed through.

That's great. That's a higher CL than I have after 1 1/2 years with those characters.

Re: What Credit Card...

I was completely surprised at the SL. Now I'm wondering if I should go for the Citi Aadvantage card or take a break. Lol
