Angry Don't send me a sh!tload of credit card offers and

not approve me for a card. Seriously I been receiving tons of credit card offers in the mail. I want a CC so I can build credit so of course I fill these offers out and yet I never get approved for a card. It just pisses me off how companies clutter up your mail with offers and then deny you a card.

yeah, its a pain. I'm tired of receiving the ones that make you pay a yearly fee, when I already have plenty of cards that don't, so why in the hell would I want one with a fee?

For some reason, my first cc was for $5000! I don't know why they gave it to me, because I was only 20, and was making about $1000 per month take home. I definitely shouldn't have been given that card.

i applied at capitol one and they declined me because I had too many other CC requests (I need one for Dejafini.com's merchant account, paypal won't let me use the same cc twice and I already have a paypal account... nice security measure but sucks in this case).

I read it on Maddox, so giving credit where it's due, but this is what I do with our junk mail now.

When credit card companies or any company sends my house junk mail and they give a no postage necessary business envelope to mail them back, I take all the other junk that I get (coupons and crap like that) and put them in their business reply envelopes and mail them back. As Maddox put it "You're doing THEM the favor of offering them .50 off their next Pizza! They should be happy!" haha.

I wasn't talking about a loan but just how to improve his credit or at least build it.

I'll give you a line of credit to pay for your engine build.

It's a second mortgage that work's just like a credit card. If you have a line for say $50,000 you never get billed for any of it unless you use it. If you use $10,000 you get billed for the $10,000 and nothing else. Once you pay the $10,000 off you can use the entire $50,000 again. It's really a good plan and if you own a house I'm your man. Closing costs of just $83.
