Re: Advice please!

Establishing the Secured card should start pushing you up. I would suggest getting another credit card within a month or two, if you can't get approved for unsecured, get another secured card. Avoid the predatory/vulture cards like Credit One, First Premier, OpenSky, etc. They will hold you back more than they will help. Instead, I would suggest apping for Capital One. They are just about the best 'builder' cards you can get.

Keep working the derogs off, if they say no, ask again. Keep asking, until they get sick of you.
