I applied and was approved by cap 1 for $300 unsecured. Thanks in advance for the help. Also my scores are all low 500s (FICO).</P> Tue, 23 Sep 2014 16:43:04 GMT https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Credit-Cards/Good-Credit-Cards-for-Bad-Credit-after-discharge/m-p/3461929#M957856 Anonymous 2014-09-23T16:43:04Z Re: Good Credit Cards for Bad Credit after discharge https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Credit-Cards/Good-Credit-Cards-for-Bad-Credit-after-discharge/m-p/3461935#M957858 You could try for Merrick although I think they might be invite only.

Or a secured card that will unsecure after a year of good use (Wells Fargo, BOA, US Bank).<BR /><BR />I would avoid first premier/credit one type cards unless that's all you can qualify for...<BR /><BR />You only need 2-3 cards to rebuild. Use them well and your scores will steadily rise.
