Rebuilding Credit - Plateau - Need Help on Adding New Card

So I've been rebuilding for a while after a nasty divorce and some fraud by the ex.. Here's my current info What card/bank could I qualify for? I feel like I've reached a plateau. I'd like to add another positive trade line / credit card. Suggestions on what I could qualify. Waiting on results from latest disputes...I've been fighting some cross file / mixed file issues which has made cleaning up much harder than I thought

If I were in your shoes I would not be in such a hurry to add new tradelines.  You have plenty of positive accounts so why not keep plugging away at getting the negatives removed then you will have much better luck when the time comes to apply for something new.

Re: Rebuilding Credit - Plateau - Need Help on Adding New Card

I've been hanging tough waiting for disputes etc...I've gotten most of of the collections disputed off or removed through pay for deletes...Old SL Trade Lines disappeared from TU this past weekend, have been working with FSA Ombudsman Office because the old TL's were/are showing Current Status as 120+ Days Past Due even though $0 Bal/Closed...That's been a process but fingers crossed that I'll wake up and they'll have disappeared from EX & EQ. On TU & EQ, all collections and charge off have been removed. Experian, I'm waiting on 1 collection to come off (pay for delete) and have 1 still in dispute (after filing a complaints against Experian & Col Agency with the CFPB, BBB, & State AG's Office) bc it's not mine and have documentation from the DV Letter I sent to the CA that shows it is not my account.
