I’ve rented cars at least a 100 times. Not only do I photo the car upon return but take one of the employee who takes possession of it with keys in hand, they never object.

On the app there’s a remark that states “Big changes are coming”. As you mention $250 monthly deposit or monthly fee. I opened a Citi basic account just for the bonus and maybe have $500 in the account now. I know the CSR’s are not to aware of many policies but two stated my fee schedule won’t change. The Basic Banking account at Citi comes with unlimited check writing. While there's a $12 monthly fee, you can avoid it if you have a combined monthly balance of $1,500 in all linked accounts or have one qualifying direct deposit and bill payment per statement period.Aug 9, 2023 I just bill pay $1 per month and make a $10 transfer into the account and was told this would be okay going forward and nothing will change for me. Still very dubious of this.

Hege, I’m assuming that 32+ year account is Amex when they used to back date considering ur BK?

That lousy late will affect the reports until it drops however most likely most won’t impact the decision making process of most FI’s Don’t sweat it.

Yes Wells has angered many customers but so have most banks. Depends on the branch in most cases. But I agree on a corporate level they are worse than most yet they are are third largest bank in the country.

Six years ago I opened a 5/3 checking with a BK showing but was informed I was pre approved for a Trio card, 12K limit. Sill at that level. Keep it open for the 0% checks that come in handy occasionally.

Was submitted around 6 hours ago.

I included Barclays in my BK. Figured why not apply for the AA card. Clean reports and high scores and the worst would be instant denial. Went pending and up for review. Upon calling the app department was told a hard would be pulled and a decision would be made. Canceled the app.

Chase is the last prime bank that I don’t have a card with. I have had a checking account with them for the last seven years. Scorched them for a good amount over 8 years ago with a BK. Clean reports on all three for awhile now. logging into my checking account there are five pre approvals for cards on their site. Scores are all over 800 with Fico. I know Inquiries are not a huge deal but rather avoid if approval is iffy. Any insight would be appreciated.

On the whole it’s obvious this is a bad deal. What we don’t know if there are other vehicles being financed under similar terms and most of all the other expenses the family has. 90k after taxes doesn’t go too far these days. Living beyond one’s means is not uncommon at all especially with a bunch of kids.

OP admitted perhaps overthinking it. Either way it’s unlikely the scoring would be much different and will take a long while to recover.

Did you go thru the pre approval link?

^ this, works every time

Greed is good

On the bright he/she will never accumulate much more debt going forward.

Whether it be houses, cars, jewelry or just about anything that is being sold there is larceny in the hearts of most potential buyers.

At first I went to My Equifax but I checked 5 days ago and it only updates once a week. Just go to the Free annual credit report and it will give the real time report from EQ Edit: CK is back to normal for me.

Mine too on CK. Went to Free Annual Credit Report and everything is cool.

Perhaps I should have included the word responsible somewhere in my statement.

On one hand I understand what you’re saying, on the other why not open one of those checking account bonuses with the cash or at worst get a few dollars interest in a money market. I just don’t see a downside of interest free split payments rather than paying all up front.

The individual may work as a consultant but certainly not in money management. Paying 25k in interest on 45k is not wise but there are some who want the product so bad it doesn’t matter to those individuals.

thx hege appreciate ur insight

I have three Amex cards. An Everyday with a 20k limit, Blue Cash Everyday 25k and a gold downgraded from Platinum last year. Thinking about a Delta card that is pre approved however I’d rather not have to go through a financial review simply because I don’t like sharing my tax returns for not necessary credit. I read and hear so many versions as to what triggers these reviews it’s difficult to know what’s accurate or is it simply luck of the draw. Never carry a balance on any card. Thx for any feedback.

Due to terrible investment decisions I filed Chap 7 approx eight years ago, Started a rebuild immediately with a $20k Cap 1 Venture within 6 months. Disputing the Bk and most of the trade lines was much easier with the proper due diligence than one would think. After 4 years the reports were fairly clean with the exception of the TU BK reporting with took another three years to delete. Long story short I now have over $500k with no store cards. Citi, BOA, Amex etc all issued cards and all were burned fairly substantially. Not out of need but more of a challenge I’d like to tackle my lone holdout, JP Morgan Chase. Besides the obvious of paying the debt any particular tactics out there or is time passage the only way? Thx

Kind of sounds as though the author was actually using cannabis.
