    • Dealer approved and delivered vehicle 3 weeks ago... received notice in mail saying I have been denied credit.

      futique posted a topic in Credit Forum,

      Wasn't sure where to post this, as it's kind of a unique situation:  
       
      - I am in the midst of rebuilding my credit. My (real) FICO is around 660.
      - I needed a new car, and on a whim, applied online for a lease.
      - Lease is through the car manufacturer. 
      - Was assigned a delivery date, went in and signed loan docs, made the payment for fees / taxes / registration, etc.... ($~3600) and took delivery of the car.
      - Got the car, and have been happy as a clam ever since.   

      Got home today to find a letter from the finance company (dated 10 days ago) saying that they "carefully assessed my application and concluded' they are 'unable to extend credit, or have offered you credit at less favorable terms than you requested."  
       
      Uhhhh. ....what?
       
      I have reviewed the loan documents carefully, and there is nothing in them about "contingent on final financing approval" or anything of the sort. 
      The letter I received doesn't make any mention of needing to return the car, or anything about modifying the terms of the contract. 
       
      - I've had the car for 3 weeks.
      - They have already cashed my check, and I've made the first month's payment...
      - In 2 weeks, the second payment is due. 
       
      Do I call them up and ask what's going on, or should I just assume it's a clerical error and continue to make payments?

    • OMG Do I Hate Discover

      cv91915 posted a topic in Credit Forum,

      My first Shop Discover purchase failed to give me cash back credit: http://creditboards.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=518247. So far I haven't had the strength to try to contact them about this and track down an amount less than three dollars. This should just work...
       
      Now I've taken the damn card out of the sock drawer one more time to get 5% for online shopping. YES, I registered for the 5% promotion.
       
      So far:
       
      Amazon.com gift card, purchased directly from Amazon - Qualified
       
      Chefs.com purchase - Does not qualfiy
       
      Soap.com purchase - Does not qualify
       
      Overstock.com purchase - Does not qualify
       
      Amazon Payments (for purchase made from Amazon.com) - Does not qualify.
       
      This card is a #@$^@%^$ joke.

    • Why Are my scores wildly different?

      bigheckinmfer posted a topic in Credit Forum,

      From EXP
      EXP - 662
      EQ - 643
      TU - 649
       
      From EQ
      EXP - 587
      EQ - 621
      TU - 588
       
      From Credit Karma
      EXP - NA
      EQ - 639
      TU - 629
       
      Why is EQ so low? All the info is the same between them and the dates of the most recent pull is within a day or 2 of each other.

    • Can I pay my spouse w/ Paypal instead of balance transfer to save the 5% BT fee? (2.99% paypal fee - 1% cash back reward)

      DUC1098 posted a topic in Credit Forum,

      I want to use a balance transfer promotion from Chase but it has a 5% balance transfer fee. Looking to get around that if I can so I thought I'd pay my spouse with paypal using the Chase credit cards which will cost 2.99% but then we'll get 1% of that back with rewards so it'll be 2% total. Would Paypal or Chase have a problem with a payment to an individual with the same address?

    • Strange letter from ARA scumbags

      lifehackmom posted a topic in Credit Forum,

      Hi Everyone,
       
      It's been a while since I've posted although I sometimes read from an app on my phone.  This site has been invaluable to helping me clean up my credit and stay that way.
       
      I just opened yesterday a collection letter from A.R.A.  They had called me last week and when I asked who they were as soon as they identified themselves, I lost cell service and the call was dropped.  
      https://www.flickr.com/photos/31276280@N07/48830231176/in/dateposted-public/
       
      I received this letter in the mail and I'm a bit freaked out they they gave me hardly any time to respond.   I need some help with a letter to respond to them.  I've done this before but it's been years.  I also just moved and a lot of my older stuff (hard drives, with letters on them) are packed away.  Can someone help me?
       
      Thanks!
