Secured Card before D/C?

My brother-in-law is in BK13 and is scheduled to be discharged in 8 months.

Is there a secured card he can get to at least start the rebuild process early?

Re: Secured Card before D/C?

He needs to check with his attorney/trustee, as he might not be allowed to get new debt until discharge.

 

That being said, OpenSky and GreenDot are secured cards that he *could* open without a credit check that report to the credit bureaus and are recommended on here for rebuilding. My trustee didn't care so I opened a OpenSky account and have it reporting to the three bureaus.
