moniqueluv's review: Callout Comment I just call the number for kays and I spoke to josh I was afraid applying because I'm starting to build credit and don't have any revolving acct my FICO with equifaxs is 636 and I advice him that I have a collection acct from 8 months ago and to my surprised he said I was approved for 4,500 so I'm glad also I decided to apply with bestbuy and I was declined due to limited credit history so I called and speak to a superviser and said that she was going to over turned so I could be approved then she said to faxs my statement of my car for proof since it showed being disputed I adviced her it was a mistake from equifaxs then I faxs it and I call back and another superviser was denying myapplication so I escalated to ceo because the previous superviser said she was going to reconsider it so tommorrow I should be getting a response hopefully I get approved I will escalated till it gets approved what are my chances? But for kays I'm happy and I did it through phone so anyone interested call and just speak to a credi analyst before applying and they will let you know before if you tell them what your credi looks like.

they pulled equifaxs

Remarks Yes! Kays reports to all three bureaus! I would also suggest applying for Jared and JB Robinson Jewelers like I did, they all 3 are owned and operated by Sterling Jewelers, and normally what ever your limit was for Kay they will match for the other 2, as far as a secured card goes, with your score I would try Capital One, Hooters, Credit One Bank, any GEMB card, for example, Wal-Mart, Belk, Lowes, ect... They are not secured and report to all three as well!

Remarks You monthly payment is according to your balance. When I charged $500, I had to pay $50 per month. Don't take advantage of that too long because the APR is pretty high.
