Re: Credit card approval help

Could you condense your post please. Looks like you have some high balances (%'s), 2 charge offs with balances, 23 lates, and so on. I'd worry about paying down those high % accounts and paying off the charge offs and closed accounts. As far as getting more credit. JMHO it's not looking to good for that to happen at this moment. I'd worry about the present. Your future should be getting back on track with what you have now thats hurting you.

brittbratt2, I don't think you should worry right now about which credit cards to get in the future.  As you already know, your first priority should be to pay down your Navy Federal credit card, since it has a balance of $8400.  That credit card apparently already has a nice credit limit ($14,000) and you probably will not be able to get a better credit card with a lower interest rate right now.

 

BTW, I suggest not using all capital letters when you post.  Typing normally makes it easier for people to read what you post.

Credit Scores: (FICO 8) 850 Experian May 2025, 847 TransUnion May 2025
Credit Cards (newest to oldest): NFCU Visa Platinum $25,000 | BECU Cash Back Visa $10,000 | American Express BCE $9000 | Simmons Bank Visa $7500 | Capital One Quicksilver Visa Platinum (PC/upgrade from No Hassle Miles Rewards Visa Platinum) $1800

Re: Credit card approval help

I agree with thee others, applying for anything right now would not yield good results.  I would pay off the 200 Capital since that is the easiest to be paid in full. The AU has very high utilization not sure if I would remain on that? Try to get navy down to at least under 30%. And tackle those charge offs,  maybe try for PFD and GW the lates. 

 

Good luck
