Making Progress!!!

So, after filing BK last October and being discharged in February of this year, the rebuilding stage has been in full force.

My CR has been updated and all is well. All I was able to get was a measly Credit One card with a 300 CL. Everyone said to try Cap One but they wouldn't touch me. Even for secured.

I took a risk today and did the Barclays Bank pre approval site and said I wasn't pre approved but pre selected. I took the chance and got an instant approval of 1750!!!!

No idea what my scores were...but I'll take it. Especially with the BK and limited payment history on my only new card.

Will be making them my daily driver and will garden credit one for sure.

Thank you all. Woot. Woot.

Re: Making Progress!!!

I'm really excited about it.

Hope they are generous with the CLIs. Would love to make them my daily driver card if they are generous.
