Hello,
I filed Chapter 7 way back in 2005 and then lost my place for a while until I found a new apartment. In 2010, I got a secured credit card from a local credit union which the card got closed down during the time my old part time job at the print shop was docking my hours, making it difficult to pay it off. The bank closed the account last summer once my secured money was used to pay it off. However, the savings account is still there, but barely.
I also have a Banana Repub card to get clothes and strictly for that reason. This was acquired several months after I got the credit union card (now defunct). That card is still good. Then I got the Barclaycard because I had no choice but to get funding for my new computer and tablet for my line of work in graphic design.
However, I left my old job because the workplace was getting unstable and getting to the point where the way it was operated, got real stupid. The former boss claimed that he had no more funding to continue my position so I left. BUT I caught him, over a month later, putting an ad on Craigslist looking for a new designer. Such a backstabbing fool.
So, I struck on my own going freelance once again and being on disability because of my deafness, I have tried once again to apply for a Capital One card after geting so many junk mail from them.
I got turned down, ironically. Now my question to you is how in the heck am I going to get a new credit card while working freelance or under disability? I'm not making much these days from my creative work but I have a plan now that I know what to do. How do I apply in the form where it asks me of my annual salary? What am I supposed to enter in there if I'm on disability or my freelance work? Do I combine both of those incomes or just one?
I get the feeling that this part is how they determine my eligibility to get a new card even though my credit score is pretty good around the range of the mid 600s. I need to get a new card to stabilize my budget and financially get around so I can get gas, food and necessities. That's all I care about without squeezing my bank account. The barclaycard is a huge challenge now because I have to pay off almost $3K on it and this card is strictly for computer equipment and I also had to use it to get new glasses for my astigmatism where I had no insurance to cover it, thanks to the stupid former job that did'nt have any benefits.
Thanks!
