Misleading Advice From Customer Service

Posted by: |

Been paying on my secured visa card with them for almost 2 years - on time. Was told by their loan specialist to apply for a higher limit unsecured card because of my good credit. I specified that I did not want to have a negative hard inquiry on my credit score if I won't be approved but was told that the worst-case scenario would be the loan department would send me a counteroffer on the amount. So, after taking their advice, having my credit pulled (which is a good score) they turned me down simply because they are not satisfied with the fact that I receive disability and work for Uber. I have been working for Uber for 8 months and with my combined disability income, I bring home $800 per week, yet can't get approved for a measly credit card under 5k from them after making on-time payments with them for almost 2 years. Now I have a negative impact on my score after taking their misleading advice... Find a better credit union
