Best Answer

A credit card requires a contract. Contracts can not be executed with a minor (someone under 18). So you would need a parent or guardian to be a co-applicant or guarantor if you want a credit card.

Can your credit card company randomly pull your credit report even though the account is five years old?

Yes and they do this often. If your score is lower than before, they may up your interest rate. If your score is higher or still the same, they may offer you additional cards, balance transfer offers, etc. This is part of standard credit card terms. Even if the account is closed they can do this. This is how we all get those credit card offers that say pre-approved, etc. It does not affect your credit score. It's a soft inquiry.

credit cards are considered written contracts and in most states have a SOL for legal recourse. If the debt is 8 years old and beyond your states SOL than most people choose to walk away from the debt for two main reasons, 1. it can't report to your credit file with the CRA's and you can't be sued.

Can a 9th Grade student apply for his credit card at a bank?

No. A credit card is a contract between you and the bank and as a minor you are unable to sign contracts until you reach 18 years old. Banks also check for credit worthiness, income, and credit score so as a person 13-14 years old you are unable to provide these things. One last thing. A credit card is a loan with interest when you buy something on it. You have to pay it back.
