credit card application
« on: May 10, 2010, 03:50:46 PM »
A friend on mine applied for the citi student forward card a couple of days ago, he just called back & they said they mailed him a form he has to fill out about taxes, what is this & what does he do about this??? (myself & a diff. friend applied & they never said a thing about a form for taxes, we said higher amounts of income than him & both got accepted)

I applied last week and when I spoke to them today they said they just need proof that I am a student and of my address but nothing about taxes.

you read my mind I was just going to ask you what happened with your application, anyways that's what I thought they would ask for, that's all they asked for from my other friend, & all they asked me was for the spelling of my school name. any Ideas anyone about what to do???

well, not FR, but an application called to ask about my self employed 5 digit annual income, 'suddenly' the call got choppy, and then i 'never got' (never answered) the rest of the calls. after a week they approved the application anyway.
that was the only time out of more then 10 that they even called

I hear you, if your ever on the phone for a friend (or even yourself) & don't know the answer to the question, you also have to do something like that like your dog is barking or baby is screeching.....

citi sent in the mail a form to fill out to give them permision to obtain my tax return. should my friend (who applied for the card) fill this out?? I called them up & told them that I never paid taxes bec I am a full time student & never made enough $ (& applied for the student card) & when I told them I make $8,000 a year I meant bec I just got a part time job & that's what I'm supposed to be making, they said I should fill out the form anyways & send it in.
should I listen to them? can I trust the "rather smart" lady that answered the phone? or will I get messed up from the IRS?
any sugestions what I should do???
