Need help!!!

In need of revolving credit! I'm waiting for Fingerhut to report new account. I have applied and been denied for Capital One, BofA secured cards and am afraid of apping again. I know Open Sky does hp but there rates are sky high as I was approved but never sent deposit. Any suggestions would be great! My scores have gone up since apping for these cards and a did pay my one and only cc charge off

More info needed INQ's AAoA, baddies etc 

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

I do have student loan accts in good standing. I'm waiting for them to update two more and they will be in good standing as well. That will leave me with two student loans with one 90 day late on each from 4/11.
My AAoA 4 years. My oldest accts are Student loans opened in 2007.

I understand you want more cards/TL's however you should garden while working on your file sending GW letters.

I'm sorry to tell you this but feel its in your best interest rather than see you get more HP's and scores fall even lower.

If you need other TL's go for the shopping cart trick only for cards that you would use 

Best wishes

Re: Need help!!!

Thank you. MyFico keeps telling me I don't have revolving credit. Hopefully Fingerhut will be enough. To the garden I'll go. Smiley Happy

Re: Need help!!!

try Creditone.com

 

They have pre-approval... if you get offer it is expensive but not like first premier expensive... but if im reading right, you will have 2 accounts drop off in June like in less than 30 days? If that's the case.... wait for those... then check again....

 

you bank with a credit union?

Do you have an acutal Score from any of these places that keep denying you or from a pull here at myfico?

Re: Need help!!!

Apply for SDFCU, and take their secured card.  No HP for membership, and they don't even pull credit for their secured card (minimum $250), and it's way better than OpenSky/CreditOne and similar.

 

$0 AF, some flat 1% rewards structure, no forex fee, no HP to open, EMV chipped too if you have to travel internationally for whatever reason; it's nearly ideal, just doesn't get much press.

Re: Need help!!!

I had a lot of collection accts when I applied back in March. The only outstanding debt that I do have is my student loans which are a little over $5000 and my two unpaid collections accts totaling $200.00 my student loans are all paid as agreed. The reason I have so many TL from them is because they were sold thus creating a me set of TL. My scores right now are EQ 561 my lowest score pulled thru my fico, TU 596 pulled here, and EX pulled thru EX direct website 612. My Quizzle EX is like 638. I don't have my reason for denial letter but I do remember them referencing my charged off acct. I don't bank with a CU and my bank doesn't offer Secured Cards. The remaining CAs will not budge with GW. I have tried on several different occasions. I kind of feel like I'm stuck?!?
