Status of a WAMU Application

[NICKI183]

Does anyone know the number to call if you would like to check status on a pending application? How long do they usually take to approve or deny when you don't receive an automatic APPROVAL online. thanks

Nicki, the only number I can round up is the one for their Customer Service dept.

800-356-0011

I have another number, not sure what department though: 800-892-9268.

Hope those help. And good luck. I've got my fingers crossed!

Same here.  They denied me online on the 5th but I found out they did another hard inquiry on the 12th(without my persmission).   I have to call to see what's going on.  Gimme a card or remove the inquiry...Grrr!

Well here is my update.  To me it is comical.  I had a BK-02 and at the time had a Providian card.  I let it go through so it looks like a CO/BK on my CR.  When I married my DH added me to to his existing Providian account that had a $5k limit.  Irony is soon after WAMU had taken over and they sent him a letter stating that he was reduced to a $500 CL.  Go figure!  They proceeded to charge him OverL fees and a whole bunch of nonsense. Eventually, I came into money and paid the entire balance.

Well, to add to the comic relief with all that I received a letter from WAMU that stated, :" we received your request for a credit card with our company; however, our records reflect that you had an account with us that was not in good standing so we cannot approved your request at this time.".

The good thing is is that they started that they did not have to do a credit report inquiry because they reviewed my history (that was obvious).

I NEVER had a WAMU, but they are most likely holding my Providian and DH Providian info  handy.

I will never be able to obtain a WAMU card so I know any retailers that utilize this bank I will not be able to get.
