Good luck... keeping my fingers crossed for you...

The lady was tough and like a stone wall at first, but I softened her up with my deliberately quiet, respectful, monotonous voice. After asking for a reconsideration, she threw the "we denied you for all these good reasons" brick, I broke it up and built her a pretty little house with it, and carefully, but good-naturedly, answered her every question with one or two more details than she asked for. She approved the reconsideration after about 15 minutes discussing inquiries and new accounts. She required my SSA card to prove my social, as well as my vehicle registration to prove my address. I faxed it in, and was told that it takes 7-14 days to review faxes.
Guess I'll wait. I tried calling back a few hours later to see whether they reviewed the faxes, and was greeted with a slightly warning tone of, "You called earlier today and spoke with another representative." But the lady sweetened up when I told her I was told to check back to ensure the faxes were received. She gave me the same 7-14 day processing time.
Will update you all next week.
Has anyone else had to fax in anything for a Chase Freedom recon?
Exact same scenario, except I got disconnected twice while going through the verification process. After the third time on hold I was advised that a letter had been sent out requesting information that would have to be faxed back. I still don't know what they want faxed back. I really don't take stress that well 
Good luck, got my fingers crossed for both you and I. BTW, when I reconned she did say that my CL would be $500, but that I would be able to have it increased at a later time.
UGH! So, I called again and spoke to the Verifications Department after been transfered twice. I guess I am OCD
To summarize my experience: for those applications that are not instantly approved - like us - a more complex approval process is in place to verify our identity. A letter/form is been mailed. I need to fill out and return via fax. The information I provide on the form (SS#, DOB, Name, Address) will then be entered into a system that is forwarded directly to the social security office to be verified. It then takes 24-48 hours from when they receive my fax to complete the verification, NOT THE APPROVAL process. Once verification is complete, then credit card processing picks at it some more and hopefully approves it! In other words 2-3 weeks. Hope this helps.
