Capital One took me back like a long lost friend.

I filed for BK 7 back in 12/2023 - discharged in 3/2024 . Rebuild started in March 2024 with Mission Lane 3k no annual fee (increased at 6 months to 4k) and Ally 1k 0% apr for 9 months. Navy Fed ssl started 6/2024 paid to 7%. Good start. So I am at 13 months post filing / 11 months post discharge and after getting my first myfico reports for the year (EQ 674 TU 650 EX 674) I thought I would lower my shields and try some pre-quals. Navy Fed hit me with the nRewards secured card, pass. Next went to Wells Fargo since I didn't burn them and I have a positive closed account with them still reporting...no dice. I had checked pre quals for Capital One last month and I got the polite letter saying "it's not us it's you". Figured as much since I got Discover for ~ 50k Since my shields were down and there are the DP's on this forum that Capital One forgives at 13 months I figured why not. Well Capital One did not disappoint. Got Quicksilver, Savor and Venture offers. Hit the apply on the Savor and got approved for 7k $200 sub for $500 and best of all 0% for 15 months and then the middle interest rate of 24.99% after. Back to the garden until April 2026 when the 0% ends and I will be at 2 years post discharge with all revolvers over a year old.

Congrats on getting back in with Cap 1 !  They are one of the most forgiving lenders for sure.  You burned them in BK, for how much ?

~ $1000 in the BK. Funny thing is I was "bucketed" to a cl of $6500 and always the worst interest rate before the BK.

Re: Capital One took me back like a long lost friend.

@CaneVariant  yeah they kick started my building credit when I was 18 and then again on rebuild when I was in my 30s (recently) with a 4k WEMC QS.

I'll never forget when they gave me 0% on a $500 limit back when I was getting 20k amex and 25k chase approvals. HAH! 

At least cap one is somewhat constant although Ive been seeing that "we are not considering credit limit increases at this time" verbiage popping back up again. kind of scary
