Hello!
My Chapter 7 was discharged on 3/11, since then I have applied for the capital one platinum card and recieved a $300 limit. I am also planning to do a secured card at SDFCU for $4000. I also have a "loan" for 2000 that I'm paying on. My scores right now are :
EQ 583
EX 557
TU 558
My question is, what do I need to do next to get my scores up into the 600s across the board? My goal is to buy a home in 2023, and I need to make progress towards the 680 required. Thanks for any insight you can share, I have enjoyed reading this board so far.

Good luck on your credit journey. I would recommend reading this thread. https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Bankruptcy/HOW-TO-From-BK7-discharge-to-700-in-24-months-or-less/td-p/1384075
AllZero replied with a great article to use as a template for your rebuild. I would say the most important thing to do post bankruptcy is to monitor your credit, and dispute inaccuracies. Make sure you follow up on them until everything on your report is valid. Good luck!
thanks yall!
