Re: Credit One Question

You just came out of BK7 two weeks ago, and you already have 4 cards.
I would say you need to slow down.
I would also cancel the Credit One since you have three other cards already, and garden for a LONG LONG time before going after anything else.

Okay, so you really need to slow down 

 

Discover will not even consider approving you for at least 2-3 years. 

You're not even two weeks out of BK and already getting "too many Inq" 

 

Also, Fingerhut Fresh Start reports as a loan until first purchase is paid off, so you have two loans atm

Once purchase is paid off, they "graduate" it from loan to revolving credit. 

 

As far as credit one, you can close it or keep it along with the fees. You already took a HP for it, so might as well ride it out for a year. 

 

Dont start your rebuild with bunch of useless cards that you'll be closing anyway. There is no way to rush time, and by applying for cards like these, you're pretty much kicking yourself out of the game 

I am being reminded of my inq from almost two years ago to this day and had to recon last two cards with a clean, decent profile. 

 

So, if you want to help yourself, do nothing for a year. Pay off your debt, instead of putting money in security deposits.

😳

IMHO, please do not apply for anything else until 9/2020. And when you do, no more retail cards. You have to give yourself some time to learn from your mistakes so you won’t repeat them again. That BK is going to be on your CRs for a minimum of 7 years so you have to take it slow and let lenders trust you again.

Re: Credit One Question

😂😂😂 the only debt I have is 93$ for fingerhut freshstart which I'm making the payment for on Friday. The many inqs are pre bk that are still haunting me as I've been approved for everything I've applied for post bk7. Minus the 7 car inqs before I decided to just use the new family impala until I leave for basic in December.
