When I was at school, I got a letter from Sears "inviting" me to get one of their cards. I filled out the application, listing income as $0 (yes ZERO!) and listed the college and bookstore as credit references (the accounts were in my name, although I got the money to pay them elsewhere). A few weeks later, they called me back to confirm the data, and after they were done, said I would be getting a card shortly. Around the same time, I got a similar letter from Mobil Oil. I did the same thing, with the same result. Walt Morris AT&T Technologies, Summit {ihnp4,allegra}!eagle!mh3bs!wsm
