~yilla: I tried applying for Wells Fargo Student Credit Card and they were not even in the least helpful with my application process. I submitted in one application and didn't hear from them until more than two weeks later. Eventually I got a mail saying it got rejected due to income allowances even though I did have income and a part-time job. I applied again and didn't hear from them for another ** weeks until they sent another rejection mail requesting additional ID which I faxed over. Then I didn't hear from them for yet another ** weeks. They sent another empty letter stating they needed verification of SSN. I called the customer service and all the person who answered could say was "this is federal policy" to require so much personal identification verification. If this is federal policy, then why don't other credit card companies do the same? Yet no one I knew who applied for their first credit card had to go through this much "verification." The customer service person was very unhelpf
