George, I have a situation with a creditor who was included in my bk 3 years ago. The creditor was reporting the account as a current delinquent, a chargeoff. I have disputed that with Equifax. It had reported a delinquent status for three weeks. Now, my credit report is fixed. My question is: Do you think Providian, which scans my accounts with other lenders, could have seen the delinquent status and upped my interest rate in that short of time the delinquency reported? I know you don't have an account with them or know what Providian is doing with my account. I know they are changing my terms and I don't know what the new terms are going to be. It could be an upgrade. Or it could be an apr increase based on the delinquency. Do you think 3 weeks reporting a delinquency on Equifax could cause a problem? Or am I being paranoid? Thanks for being there for me if you respond.
I don't know... Even if a credit card "JACKS" your rate, you can get a reason sometimes (if you get a reason that is WRONG~~~DISPUTE IT)...you can always "JACK" THEM!!!
Yeah, it's a war, George. I am rebuilding with only 4 cards. So if they do jack me, I pay off the card and sock drawer it. I just wish I could close it. But I need it to build age. If you have any ideas on how to Jack Them, let me know.
The one card got "JACKED" (22.49%) so I closed all 3 of ours...$72,000+ They couldn't give me a straight answer...
I have NEVER had BAD credit~~~I got JACKED!!! They MAY have thouught I owed too much or something...THEY NEVER GAVE ME A REASON!!!
I applied for the GET SMART (PROVIDIAN) 1.90% "GO-TO" 9.99% was DENIED TWICE!!! ...so I don't have their card...
It is shocking Providian turned you down. What were they thinking? You must be TOO good for them, the bastards.
