Chapter 7 discharge and secured cards

Posted on: 06th Nov, 2012 10:57 pm
hello everyone… i'm 1 yr 5 mo. past chapter 7 bankruptcy discharge with a score of 680. i have a student loan with wells fargo and have never been late in the 5 years. i had a rewards card offer from wells fargo, applied for it and was denied. reason given was bk. hate dinging my credit for that. it's the third credit app i've made since discharge. i have a barclays card with 1700 limit obtained 1 year past discharge and also a $750 capitol one card. unfortunate as it is, the upside is i'm still better off with the bk.
Hi Tangy,

Normally, you can get qualified for a secured card from various organizations after bankruptcy. This helps in improving your credit to a great extent. In such a situation, it's strange that Wells Fargo denied the card. Nevertheless, you should contact other banks or lending institutions in order to get a card.

Take care
