American express possible?

I've got 1 dismissed BK on EQ

No BK's on TU or EX

 

1 $190 charge off from Verizon on all three

Many student loans that are late from 2005/2006

 

Many really good positive credit lines I think 26 or so...including paid car loans credit cards, house etc..

 

Thoughts?

7-8% util

Don't know my EX score probably 690+ since it's similar to what it was before

AAoA is 5 years I think...

If you are looking for a charge card, I would recommend trying a Zync card.

I would say you have a decent shot. the student loans may hurt your chances tho.

Re: American express possible?

I don't have any new cards they are all over 6 months old and almost a year.

My biggest concerns are the 1 chargeoff which is from 2006 on all three reports and the BK dismissal on EQ

 

 

I'd be most interested in Zync since the AF is very low at $25.00

Re: American express possible?

4-5 student loans will fall off this year, several inquiries too in August I'm okay to wait until then.

Waiting for this to happen would be your best option.
