For After Divorce & Bankruptcy

3 star rating

in debt, on a strict budget

Sadly...like many in this country now, I am a "victim" of divorce and later bankruptcy.  And I do use the word "victim" seriously.  

When no one else would even look at my credit application for a credit card, Capital One did.  Naturally, it's a rather low credit limit.  That's OK...I don't want a high limit as in previous days.

To those new to credit cards...two tidbits of advice: #1) Don't get carried away. #2) Pay your bill immediately.  Not paying your bill FAST will result higher interest rates & a bad credit rating.

I like the fact that I can pull up my account anytime on-line and also pay my bill on-line.  It's faster than the mail.  Credit cards are almost a necessity these days.  Use it wisely.

I hear you, Buddy, and a lot of us are sympathetic. Capital One was also the first one to take a chance on me when I finally emerged from credit hell a few years ago.
