Trying to add new credit card

[VipreArmed]

The Capital One Secured is going to take a while for you to start seeing the benefits of it so don't get discouraged.  I have a Cap 1 secured that I applied for in July 2016 but the card didn't actually start reporting until October because Cap 1 gives you 3 months to continually fund the card to establish your limit.   So you may not start seeing the benefits of responsible use for another 5-6 months after it finally reports.  But it's a good start to rebuilding.

Definitely look into a SSL loan.  I consolidated my student loans and when they finally reported, my credit score jumped 40-50 points on each report.  

Good luck to you

Thanks for the help
Your suggestions and ideas are truly appreciated.
Going to work on another secured card and a SSL in the next few weeks. I'll keep you all updated on my journey

Thanks again

Who do you bank with? Maybe go to the local branch and talk with a CSR to see what they can offer.

Hey
I appreciate all the responses and suggestions.

I recently have picked up a secured Capital One card
In two weeks I'll be putting a deposit on a BoA secured as well.
I've was approved for the secured BoA card yesterday.
One question I have is
When should i get the SSL and how much should it be?
Does the card limits and loan amounts matter when opening these accounts?

Thanks
