    I applied over the phone for one of their (i assume, sub-prime) cards. Today I found out I was declined. Bummer. I don't know why yet but they are mailing me an explanation.

    Ch 7 BK discharged June 2003
    Equifax score= 602

    I have:

    car loan (3 yrs)
    1 store credit card (retained)
    Target guest card (2 months now) $200 cl
    Orchard Bank MC $500 cl (opened in Aug)
    Student loans

    No lates on anything!

    Can anyone help explain why they declined me? I should also mention that I had a Cap One card included in my BK for $600. Could this be why? I heard that they were fairly BK-friendly though! UG!!

    Ok, so what's been most effective with Cap One? Complaint or Question?

    Also, how do they find out? How soon after did you get the card?

    We complained about some CAP 1 stuff through PFB and got a favorable response. It took about a month though. You might suggest that they start you with a secured card. Good luck!
