These banks/cards requie you to have a savings account with them equal to your credit limit. If you have collection accounts or JUDEMENTS can a collection agency freeze these accounts and take them?

you wont…you get a secrued credit card for 400 bucks…they will shoot you with 300 fees upfront and piled them up month after month…they are the worst cards to get a handle on
I went to the same deal, and did with bank of america, they kept me on a secure basis for 9 months with a $300 card, after making all the payments on time they upgraded me to $1000.00 and 6 later raised me to $2500.00
