Re: Best Card???

What does your credit report look like? What is reporting now? Baddies? My first guess is a store card...I don't think you're quite ready for a prime card unless you qualify for student cards.

Yeah, that's pretty recent. I'd probably look for a store card at a place you shop at fairly regularly. Just PIF for 6 months and see where your score is. That charge off is going to hurt for a long time.

Yeah, I'm in the same boat with Chase. It sucks. I would also call local CUs and see if they might be willing to work with you. That was one of my first post charge off cards and they were/are great to work with.

Look into a secured card.  Various CU's, Wells Fargo, BOA, among others offer them.
