No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
Don't be so hard on yourself, you are right out of bankruptcy. I can almost guarantee all your accounts are not reporting correctly. It is very important to get your accounts to show "Included in bankruptcy". Then begin your credit building journey. CapitalOne will probably be your best friend soon because you did not burn them. Alot of people don't like Credit One because they have so preditory fees but if no one else will prequalify you then they may be your best bet outside of getting a secured card. Just remember Credit One is a starter card and you want to make sure you cancel them at your year anniversary with them so you don't get hit with the Annual fee. Good Luck and congratulation's on taking a step towards a better financial future.

I think you need to submit BK paperwork to chex and have them clear it. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.
That is exactly what I did. They then removed me from the system and I was able to open my self lender account which reports monthly to al three CB's.
Like other posters stated, you need to make sure your credit report reflects included in BK on all your tradelines. I started my journey on 01/2015. I subscribed experian credit tracker since they allow you order all 3 credit report free of charge. Quick Tip - Order the $1 seven day trial and call them to cancel it. They will tell you that they will give you 50% off for 1 year. You will only pay $12.49 a month for unlimited access. Well worth it in my opinion. Once you dispute any errors and the report is all cleaned up. Apply at capital one and Discover secured credit card. You will be on your way to good credit in about 24 months. Also become an authorized user of a family member to transfer their good credit. Good Luck!
