- Interesting, I am 23 now and a single male. I have a Discover card
- that expires in 93, so I have had it for awhile now. The Discover was issued
- in 1989, a Sears card was issued way back in in 1989 also. Then to top it off
- I have a VISA card that was issued in 1989. This is all by the member since
- date, NOW that does not mention the TWO School loans that I got in 89 or 90
- so that I could attend DePaul University after leaving the hole in the
- wall in McComb called Western Illionis University ( NO LOANS THERE )
-
- So count HOW many credit check I would have had there for yourself
- I think that is atleast five... AND all of them would have been a couple
- of months apart.... I ALSO HAD NO JOB AT THE TIME, and was living at home..
- ONLY the VISA card had a CO-Signer. SO either you were denied because
- of some BAD record reason, or just a screw-ball error, or ?????
-
- NOW, if a person knows you SS# like a girl friend might all she has
- to do if really pissed is act like a business, call a credit ( how do you
- spell it ) burue and say that you are a dead beat...
-
- WELL More that E'NUFF said
-
- pardon me it is 01:12 now and I was up since 06:30 my brain is mush
- and does not what to think about spelling.
