Help in completing the final step in rebuild?

So I am a couple of months away from 7 year mark on my BK (chapter 7). I have so far been denied by CITI (other than the co branded cards, Sears, Costco etc). CHASE is always no except for the lousy $500 CL they gave me on the Amazon card which I closed after more than 1 year with no CLI. Pretty much in with most other lenders. AX always approves me ( member since 1989) but lately won't give me any new bonuses. Yes I get the dreaded message. I have 200-250k available credit with approx 6% UT no baddies since 2012. Scores range from 698-730. Around 20/24. Most new accounts are from 2017 and 2018. Have slowed down a lot. How long before CITI and CHASE forgive the BK? Should be at or under 5/24 in 12-15 months. Wife will be there sooner and has almost identical profile with slightly higher scores. Any other ideas until those 2 lenders come around ? Neither included in BK. My current lenders are Discover, AX, NFCU, Penfed, Comenity, Synchrony, US Bank, Barclays, BofA, AK USA, Cap One, TD.

There have been a few exceptions. But count on as long as the BK is on your file. Chase and Citi are really no go's.

Until your BK comes off your CRs, Chase and Citi will continue to treat you like a redheaded stepchild.







Your FICO credit scores are not just numbers, it’s a skill.

Re: Help in completing the final step in rebuild?

I can remember when @Scupra got a Chase card just a few years after BK I think it was the Freedom but dont quote me. Also saw a few people get the CITI DC but few and far between. I guess I will have to start hounding the 3 CB to remove my BK early Lol on that.

Long time no see @morgacj2004 I still haven't been able to get Citi to give me a CLI on my Costco card, I think we are stuck here until the BK is gone.

With Chase I went after the Freedom first, was given a $500 SL and shortly had it raised to $5k. After that I obtained the CSP at $5k as well. Both took a considerable amount of smooth talk and brown nosing in the form of a recon Smiley Happy I don't like taking no for an answer and have always believed in at least asking.

Nice to hear from you again I have been busy with work and other duties. Well you have had better luck than me. My CITI Costco card came with a 9.5k CL so I have never asked for more . CHASE even turned me down for the Starbucks card
