    Posted on February 21st, 2012 admin No comments


    Question by madmicmar: Why do banks don’t state the reason why they deny credit card application in the Philippines?
    I have been approved of credit cards before but there are specific banks I’d like to apply for a credit card but never was my application granted. You can’t say I’m not qualified cause I have been approved of 2 before. Do banks have different sets of standards in approving application? What’s annoying is why they do not specifically say the reason why I am declined.

    Answer by Doctor Deth
    they don’t give reasons for denial in any country – maybe you have too MUCH credit for your income if you already have 2 cards – why would you need a 3rd? you shouldn’t be carrying big balances on credit cards – that is a certain way to financial disasterof course unlike banks have different approval criteria – obviously these banks view you as risky and don;t want to assume that risk

    Question by Cowboy’s Sweetheart: What Does This Mean On A Credit Card Application?
    I’m thinking of getting a new credit card. Even though I’ve made every payment on time and in total my current teasing is begin to add all kinds of fees. On the application, under “Interest Rates and Interest Charges”, it says “If you are charged periodic interest, the charge will be no less than $ 1.50″. What is “periodic interest”? The application does not explain what this is.

    Best answer:

    Answer by Gorkbark Porkduke Gefunken Fubar
    Periodic interest is interest charged for a sure period of time, such as a month. What this means if that even if you have only a $ 1.00 equilibrated you will be charged at least $ 1.50 in interest for that period or month.In this example, it would work out to a monthly rate of 150% or an annual rate of 1,800%.

    Question by Dan V: Is lying about income on a Credit Card application illegal?
    From what I understand they rattling rarely verify the income you list.Is there anything illegal about exaggerating annual income on a Credit Card application for the purposes of getting approving/getting a higher starting limit?Please don’t give me ethics, I just want to know if it constitutes fraud (could be a typo for all they know) or if there’s anything illegal about my SPECIFIC question.I would like a Yes or No if possible.

    Best answer:

    Answer by bustersmycat
    fraud is a crime. depends on whether one would consider your lie to constitute fraud from a legal standpoint. Besides, credit cards are about the bad form of personal loan you could use. They practice legalized usury. Having a low limit is likely best for you anyway.

    Posted on January 21st, 2012 admin No comments


    Question by Isabella L: I had received a credit card application from First National Bank Omaha with a promotional % interest?
    After I had applied, I received an email that my application was rejected. Then, I received another email, a few days later, saying my application was approved. A week later, I received my credit card and the letter stating that I had a % interest on purchases for a year. About a month later, I had another letter telling that I was not okayed for the credit card. This is truly perplexing. Has anything like this pass to anyone else? Is my credit card cancelled today?

    Call the customer service number on the back of the tease and find out what is going on.

    Best answer:

    Answer by RedSoxFan
    Even promotional offers that offer pre-approval with no credit checks and no job verification still have criteria that must be met prior to approval.Whenever you are denied credit, the company must send you a letter with the reason for their decision, so wait for the letter and that will give you the exact reason.
