Mountain America Credit Union Approval

Hello,

 

I've been a little silent for a while, but wanted to share some good news! I've really been focused on my credit and my bankruptcy fell off of my credit last month (Discharged Chap 7 in May of 2012). What a LONG 10 years. 

 

Anyways, I just had surgery and had to pay the hospital costs up front. I could have done their in-house financing, but it didn't seem like the right idea, so I paid $3400 on my CareCredit which currently has an $8k limit. 

 

My local credit union (who is my main bank) has a cash back card with a rate of 12.74% at lowest rate, and no BT fees. I wanted to have this as backup in case I don't pay the 0% off by the 12 months, and thought this would be the perfect card. 

 

I applied yesterday afternoon, and received an e-mail to sign disclosures and was told a loan officer would reach out in 1-2 days if needed. I didn't realize this was an auto approval, and about an hour later, logged into my online banking.

 

Behold I was approved at the lowest rate (12.74%) and for... $15,500!! This is my first double digit line on my own (have AU cards)!!

 

Very pleased and was able to go pick up the card in branch. Pinch me, I'm dreaming!

 

DPs:

Income: 100,000+

Fico: Experian Fico 8 726

Util: >5% overall with one card at 80%- planning on paying this completely off by July.
