Chase - How Long Do They Blacklist After Settlement?

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with how long Chase will blacklist following a settlement "Legally Paid For Less Than Full Balance".  I do not owe them anything at all, however they lost about $10K in the deal about six years ago.  It was not a BK, simply a settlement.  

 

I assume they still blacklist for life (or close to that) under these circumstances?

 

 

Year 2012: All Scores in the 520 range, during a foreclosure, CC Settlement and high UTIL. Very ugly days...
Sept 2024: EX8: 847; EQ8: 850; TU8: 848 -- Middle Mortgage Score: 821
In My Wallet: Discover $73.7K; Cap1 Venture $51.7K; Amex ED $38K; Amex Optima $2.5K; Amex Delta Gold $18K; Citi Costco $24.5K; Cap1 Plat $8.4K; Barclay $7K; Chase Amazon $6K; BoA Plat $21.6K; Citi TY Pref $22K; US Bank $4K; Dell $5K; Care Credit $6.5K. Total Revolving CL: $300K+
My UTIL: Less than 1% - Only allow about $20 a month to report, on one account. .

I'm not sure, but if you are still on their naughty list, you will probably not get a prequalified offer: https://www.chase.com/prequalified

I had a charge off with chase in 2006. I have had a chase bank account for about 6 years. They instanlt approved me for a Chase Freedom at $500 limit in March 2018 thru logging into my online account and seeing a green check mark for selected card offers. Then 3 weeks ago I received in the mail a prequalified offer for Chase Saphire. Entered he invitation number and approved instantly for $2500.

I'd wait until it's no longer on your credit report (the tradeline) then try once a year for an "easier card" like Amazon Visa. My best guess is 8 to 10 years before they let you back in (if they do).

Weird. I didn’t think Sapphire was available to new applications. .. and the CSP has a minimum $2500 CL...

NFCU $60.4k/PenFed $22.5k/Commerce $15K/53 $11K/Synovus $14K/BBT $11K/CapOne $12K/DCU $7.5K/BMO $7.5K/Chase $14.5k/Cabelas $10K/ and many many more!
Total CL $398600, plus car and RV loan.
Ooh. Ooh. Getting closer to that $500K mark!

I thought the CSP was a $5K minimum? Is this $2.5k a new thing? When I got denied a few months ago, I called to recon and I was told by the analyst he couldn't offer me a $5k CL, which was the minimum requirement for the card.

Yes, that's interesting since the CSP typically starts @ $5K (minimum), the CS (in the past) had a minimum SL of $2K.

Re: Chase - How Long Do They Blacklist After Settlement?

Correction, chase freedom unlimited approved a starting limit $500 and Chase Slate at $2500 (not saphire). Sorry for the confusion. I have only banked with Chase and never used their card products bacause I thought I would never qualify. I even applied for the Slate card two years ago and hey said that my charge off in 2006 is why they could not grant me credit. Just thankful that they are sending me invites.
