I’ve Paid For This Twice Already…

Update on the 0% interest credit card

Well, we got a letter today requesting more information from the credit card we applied for to transfer our Capital One balance to.  That’s never happened before so I don’t know what to think about it.  We don’t apply for many credit cards though so there is that, and the last one was a long long time ago.  Times change.  Heh.

Two were easy — a copy of my spouse’s latest pay stub and a copy of a utility bill verifying our address.  The third though — they wanted a recent phone bill with our phone number on it.  But we have voice over internet for our phone through Comcast, and their bill doesn’t have our phone number printed on it.  So I wrote a little letter explaining that with a copy of the bill, and we’ll see.

If they don’t approve us, life goes on.  We’ll just pay Capital One more interest while we explore other options.   My other (with no balance) credit card is offering a “2.99% interest for life of the balance” transfer offer right now, I just don’t want to pay the 3% balance transfer fee.

And so it goes.  No one said life was simple.
