SunKysd Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Let me start by saying that I have not applied for any credit cards in 3 years because my credit was SHOT! For the last year or so I've paid every bill on time and MORE than the minimum due.I was in Kohls about 3 weeks ago and on a whim I decided to apply for their credit card because I do the majority of my shopping there. To my surprise, I was approved instantly at the register!Next, I decided that I wanted ONE major credit card. I applied for the Chase Bank Priority Club Rewards Signature Visa (Holiday Inn, Staybridge Suites, Crowne Plaza, etc). About a week or so after I applied I received a phone call from Visa questioning the CRAP One charge-off. I explained that it was a valid charge-off from 4 years ago but I am in dispute over the amount. My balance was $778 but CRAP One says I owe them $1258 so I haven't paid it. Well I knew after that conversation I wasn't getting approved.After a few days I realized I hadn't received a denial letter so I called them just to see, and to my AMAZEMENT I was approved for the Chase Bank SIGNATURE VISA with a $5000 limit!!!!(The Signature is MORE prestigious than the Platinum!!!)Getting my credit back on track is soooo liberating and has giving me a whole new outlook on credit.FYI, Chase uses TransUnion. My credit scores were as follows:EQ-623, EXP-621, TU-646 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
