Starting my Rebuild

So bankruptcy was discharged 5/01/2023. Looking for good options to rebuild my credit. Burned navy federal for over 30k so they're an indefinite NoGo. Capitol One has me on a blacklist even though they were not included and I had a paid charge off in February of 2022. I burned a number of small banks like Bank of Missouri, Celtic, and Web Bank. Honestly just looking for opinions on how to rebuild as I have almost nothing in my credit profile except for a self lender account for $500. I was going to follow the road to 700 thread, however a lot of places have already told me no for credit.

Check out Mission Lane, Ollo, Open Sky, Credit One for credit cards.  I started off with them and doors opened afterwards.  I am now back in with Capital One after a good history with the above mentioned.

If you're looking down the secured path, USB approves everyone for their Secured Altitude GO and Secured Cash +.....one of the only secured cards that offer decent cash rebates (they will eventually graduate)
