Do I stand a chance?
I app'd for Walmart card back in June with no revolving accounts only an installment loan in good standing and was shot down. Try Cap1. They might do a starter card with low CL.

Definitely borderline.... Start with C1 as suggested above, or a secured card. I think you have a much better chance if your TU is >620
Yeah.... forgot to mention secured. That's exactly what I did after getting shot down by Wally. I put $1K in a BOA acct to get a secured card with same CL. It won't take long if you use the card wisely. 6 months and you should see a noticeable jump. I did.

It's borderline. I was at 638 for TU98 on here and got $600 limit. I had three open CC's at the time. I like the secured idea, maybe BOA or USBank or a local CU, wait 60 days even and I think your score will probably rebound by then. Especially given the movement you've had recently.
| Chase Freedom $9500 DCU Visa $10000 Capital One QS $2000 AMEX BCE $3000 | Lowe's CC $8500 WalMart CC $3100 BOA Platinum $600 AMEX Gold NPSL |
Thanks everyone, I will talk with my CU and see what they offer. I know the one I am a member of does not have secured cards, but it's a small branch where even the manager knows your name so maybe they have some magic they can work. If not, I'll check out Cap1 ...
