Re: Opinions on where to apply for a credit card?

With your collections and public records it will be very hard to get the cards you want. Time will heal your file and scores. Pay your balances down and get out of debt.

If you "need" a card and seeing there is no collections or public records on your EQ find a lender who pulls EQ. But its going to be very tough and you probably might get a high APR and low limit.

OK OK, I'll wait. LOL  I am about to dispute the public records b/c the info on them is incorrect.
