App spree then garden time...need help!

Hi all. Well I'm going to go on a little app spree and would like some help in deciding what to apply for and where I have the best chance of approval. 

 

My Profile: 

  • Eq: 632 pulled 2/17.TU 692 pulled today
  • Income: 65K
  • AAOA: 3 years (oldest 6yrs 8 monts)
  • Baddie: WFNB/Express had a 30 day late in december 2006 Was stupid and young.. argh! Will this fall of in 12/2013 or is it based off the date the account was opened which was 4/05?
  • Collections: 6 medical 

Current accounts:

credit one bank 8/2008$272950 limit 
barclays/apple 3/2011$5802500 limit 
macys 8/2008$32  
best buy store card 1/2008$2451900 limit 
security service credit union 8/2007$3,279car loan will be paid off in august 
guild mortgage. 7/2010$236,730mortgage 
  • 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! Smiley Happy

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!

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.
