I just got denied for a Chase Freedom because I had a charge off with them 8+ years ago!! I was planning on letting this app ride if I got denied but I needed to find out how long I would be black listed with them. After calling, they still denied me for too many inquiries. Okay I can live with that because I do have a lot. Judging by my denial letter and the lack of a credit score on it they never even checked my CR and just denied me based on their internal report.
On the bright side my Barclays Rewards card just came today.
Try after 9.5 yrs.
I'll just make it an even 10. It just surprised me especially since it was a toy card from when I was 19 or 20. They really don't mess around.
It's been over 15 years for me!
Discover IT $17k / US Bank Ace (VSig) $13.5K / US Bank Cash+ (VSig) $13.5k
15 wow. That is crazy. I'll just garden my barclay to get the arrival.

Worst part it wasn't with Chase it was a card they took over. They did a HP and denied me for past negative account.
That's really wild. I guess they are in such demand right now that they can afford to be picky.

the duration varies depending on the lender's policies, and possibly on the amount you burned them for, but Chase, Citi and Amex are well known for blacklisting people for extended periods of time.
If you are willing to repay whatever you burned them for, then chances are you will be taken off the blacklist immediately after. However, you will need to evaluate whether it's worth forking out hundreds or thousands of dollars just to have those credit cards again.
I'm certainly not going to pay them a few hundred bucks years after it charged off and I paid a collection the money. I'm not too concerned with it. It is what it is. Luckily at the time I was burning credit bridges it was primarily with the sub prime guys so most of the big boys I have no history with.
