My question is when should I app for a NFCU cc? I am in the rebuilding stage of credit and I am post bankruptcy since July 2011. Since then I only have one car loan that I am never late on, student loans deferred, and one capitol one card au w/ 7500cl (0 balance). I justed opened a checking and savings with NFCU and I keep hearing good things about them, but I am afraid to apply for credit because I don't want to risk a HP if I have no chance of being approved. My fico eq is 610 (no idea about the others, although they have the same info on the CR) and my AAoA is 3 years. Should I wait another year before trying or should I go for it?
I say go for it. At worst its just one inquiry.

You're pretty fresh out of BK. You might want to call and talk with their CC dept and ask them if they have a minimum time post BK for a CC approval. In general, they are pretty good helping people to rebuild, but I haven't seen a lot of post-BK posts w/them. I'd suggest you have at least 6 mos, preferrably a year, with any revolving credit line for your best chance with them. With your current profile, I think they'd require a secured CC.
