- App Spree: I'd like to apply for a major credit card, I have two visas was thinking of adding a MC to the mix if possible.
- Can any of you credit gurus make some suggestions?
- Anyone pull just transunion?
Will the medical collections prevent me from approval?Note: I will also be trying for a Jared Card soon, hoping to add that and one more card to my profile before gardening for a year or two.
IMO, you may want to work on getting those collections removed first. Are they paid?? If yes, send GW letters.
Util. is not that bad (18%) but i;d try to get that down below 7%.
Barclay's is the only major CC provider I know that primarily pulls TU.
I think if you work on removing the collections and getting your util. down and gardening until January you wont have to rely on just TU you can get what you really want! ![]()
Good point LS2982, they're medical collections. I hope I can do some PFD on some of them...
Gonna try for the Jared and leave it at that for a while then work on the medical collections!
maybe medical insurance...

Not sure how to respond to this.......................
It's possible the OP ran into some hard times and wasn't able to pay his/her bills.....

You'd be surprised by how large co-pays and assorted other bills that medical insurance doesn't cover.
without med. insur. the collects will just continue in the future and credit scores will always be low. health costs is the number 1 cause of bk.
