I appliedfor a new bank credit card,was approved and my FICO score dropped 11 points, why?

You had a hard credit pull occur and that's what happens.  Your score will bounce back in a few months.  Just keep the card balance below 30% of the limit at all times.  Good Luck.

Is there a chance that I can get loan modification even if I had filed for bankrupcy 2 years ago?

If you have at least a 620 middle score you may be able to get a FHA loan.  You must be beyond two years after BK discharge and three years after forclosure.  Read all you can under credit scores on this site to build your credit scores.  Interest rates should be good for the rest of the year.  Good Luck.

Poor credit trying to get a car

To get a car loan you will need two years with the same job and show good income.  Your debt to income ratio must be acceptable also.  Bottom line is you may need a cosigner.  Hold on to your emergency money and make a little extra payment each month on your credit cards.  Good Luck.

Thinking of buying a new house. First time buyer.

Get a conventional loan if possible.  For about a $200k loan, closing costs should be $1500 to $2000 to get the lowest rate in the 3's.  You can get zero closing cost's if you adjust the interest rate higher.  Read all you can under mortgage's on this site.  At first your to get a truth and lending statement and that will document max cost and interest rate.  Good Luck.

How to get a credit score of 800+

Use cards for gas and groceries and pay off each month.  Never let your balance go over 20% of the limit.  Check out some local credit unions for a line of credit for 2k or 3k.  With your score they will charge about 8 or 9%.  It's like available cash you have access to at for example a credit union.  You must keep this balance low also and this is good emergency money available to you.  A line of credit will deversify your credit mix.  Good Luck.

They will get the car back but any cost's associated with the creditor can be removed through a Chapter 7 BK.  Talk to some recommended BK attorneys ( free consultation ) because you only file BK as a last resort.  Good Luck.
