BTDT.  I was denied a secured CC a year after my BK7.  I didn't know that companies had different criteria, so I thought if one denied me, they all would.  I waited another year and finally started (almost 2 years) getting preapproved offers with high IRs and AFs.  That got me a positive history started, but had I found this site sooner, I'd be 2 years ahead of where I am now...Another lesson learned.

Don't let it get you down, view it as a challenge.
