Legacy visa: Is it a fraud?

legacy visa is a good credit card for one to reestablish their credit. Yes they charge a high interest rate but if you are using the credit card properly you pay off the balance in full every month so you don`t pay any interest. Once you have built your payment history enough you can apply for better credit cards with more perks and lower aprs .

I have had my card about 5 years and my limit is $2,000. If you pay your bills on time and don't overspend it will be good for you too. I just closed on my first house, so this does help build your credit.

The customer service will do the best they can, but if you can't treat them like human beings and decide to yell and curse, think about how that would make you react if you were in that position and it was your job to show the card's good side and the positive aspects of the card. Think about how you would want to be spoken to when helping someone else, it may make your experience with our customer service a bit more enjoyable and we may be more willing to find a solution or work with you the best we can, PS: hate sites don't do much, some people want to build credit, some don't care, and why don't you read through the material given you? We put it there for you to know what we say up front. Contacting your lawyer will create more fees and problems for you than just paying that amount we charge because you signed for it and because you used the card... think about it

just got my legacy card , haven't use it yet , want to cancell it. Credit limit not what I expected, don't want to be charge for cancellation

I'm glad I read this alert information!

I just applied for this card, read these posts and talked with a nice rep named LIsa. You do pay the 119 start up and a 50 ann fee on your first account, then you can start using your credit limit. This card is a credit building card...not like a regular credit card where you just start charging...pay the initial 169, then pay all of your payments on time and your credit score WILL improve. I'm making up for stupid financial decisions over the last 10 years and look forward to my score jumping from 500 to high 700s+. Give it a chance but PAY on time (as you should with any bill).

i bank toid me to send a letter with my bill likea light bill or some thing and i did then they said my address did not mix so i got online to see what it was about no thank!!

I've been a member for about 60 days and have had no issues yet. From what I've read on this forum it seems the people who have major problems with the company have maxed the card out, failed to make at least the required minimum payment and then take out their irresponsiblity on the company who provided them a chance to repair their horrible credit when no other company would. Yes the up front fees suck but when you signed the terms and agreements and accepted the card you knew the fees would be charged to your card immediately. You should not have accepted the offer if you did not agree with the terms. Seriously...being irrisponsible and playing the blame game is what put you in credit hell in the first place. Grow up and take some responsibility for yourself and your failure to pay your bills the way you are supposed to. The only person on this blog I feel sorry for is the person who had his/her bank account over charged by the company and as a result his/her bank account was over drawn. The rest of you quit crying about a credit card account that you asked for and go out and work 2 or 3 jobs if you need to to get your debt paid down. Baby crys like you who are not willing to take personal responsiblity and do what it takes to fix what you broke is the reason our economy is so weak. Maybe Obama's stimulus will help you pay your credit card off...wait by the mailbox for your check.

Instead of this credit card try Dave Ramsey's way of getting out of debt.

I've had this card for a month now ,I,ve paid all applicable fees
used it twice for gas, I didn't like the fact that when you pay online that Legacy Visa charges you $5.00 everytime you direct deposit from your checking to pay off your balance.I think that fee is is rediculous and should only be charged if your past your payment due date as a penalty,especially since they already charge a monthly fee. other than that the card if used right would be a great card.

i got my legacy credit card yesterday and when i tried to use it today it was rejected. i found out the fees were higher than my credit limit.go figure

All I will say here is... people.. if you'd pay your bills then you wouldn't have any problems with any credit card companies.

]I have had no problems with this cards.It came in handy at a time when I need it .. Husband left me with nothing credit shot.. I've been with then for about 4 years now and have had my credit line increased twice.. Fee's did hurt but what ever helps 3 kids to get school clothes for etc..
