Rebuilding Question

Hi! I have a question that I need answered please. I just got Chapter 7 discharge letter 12/29/14. Right now i'm waiting on my CR from CRA so I can start rebuilding. I filed Chapter 13 two seperate times that got dismissed before my Chapter 7. Will that affect me getting credit lines when I try to apply. I'm a newbie and I guess you can say I did'nt know any better at the time. I seen TU CR and it reported on public records 3 BK. I think I really screwed up when I did that. Can anybody help me out? I need to know before I start applying.




By the way all but 1 creditor reported IIB.
TU score 557 as of 1/11/15

Re: Rebuilding Question

FIrst you should make sure that all your accounts on your credit report are reporting correctly.  Try not to accumulate too many inquiries applying for accounts that will most likey not get approved due to your recent BK. I recommend you read the following:

Worst case, State Department Federal Credit Union offers a 6.99% no credit check secured visa if you are eligible to apply for membership.  You can become eligible if you are a member of American Consumer Council.
