What's the best credit card to apply for after bankruptcy to re establish credit?


How long should you wait after bankruptcy is discharged?

I went through this my self several years ago, try H.S.B.C., First Premier and Orchard Bank.

They are all good for re-establishing credit and do it as soon as your BK discharges.

Try Target. Wait about a year.

You are going to need a secure credit card. This means you give a company $500 to hold on to and that is your limit. Keep the credit card balance under $250 and your score will recover quickly. At some point you can get the$500 back and get a regular card.

I'd start with your bank. Tell them that you just had a BK and your trying to re-build your credit.
I't will have a small limit on it, but that's a start.
Keep the balance on the card around 60% of the line amount, but do not go over 80%.
Make sure you use it. Charge something on it, then pay on it.

orchard bank approved me when no other bank would.
orchardbank.com
They approve 99% and instant 300 dollar limit

none, pay cash and use a debit card and keep your butt
out of trouble so you don't repeat the same mistakes.
Bad Credit cards charge outrageous interest rates 25%
and higher.
