11 months to go untill DRO drops off credit profile

So as the title says I had a DRO that in 11 months will drop off my credit file.

However I am still being offered only credit builder cards etc.

When should I expect to be offered better credit products from banks etc?

  • I would think once it drops off your credit report.
    Give it a couple of months after that for everything to update before you apply.
  • do you have a credit builder card already?

    During IVA, we had 4x credit builder cards, using each one and paying off in full each month. When IVA & defaults dropped off, i got mainstream card 3 months after on first time of applying
  • 6 years was up July 13th.

    Home to a letter today from the bank where my account has been for last 6 year's from bank offering their own credit card in writing so what's that less then 2 months after a DRO completely disappears/falls from credit report.

    Wouldn't like to say where my loyalty should lie. :cool:
