Not sure I understood everything you said but I would recommend doing this rebuild on your own, don't rely on/involve your brother.  Keep disputing the negative item on Experian if it is not accurate debt.  If it is accurate debt, consider paying it.  If you have to, start with a secured credit card.  Or maybe a no-frills card with a low limit.  Charge, pay off.  Charge, pay off.  Maybe carry a small balance every once in a while.  Give it some time, be patient, you'll get there.  Good luck.

Good advice from @ptatohed 

 

Can you tell us what cards you have, and what kind of features you are looking for?

My recommendation for cash advances is to research credit unions which offer non-rewards platinum cards with low interest, no balance transfer fees, no cash advance fees.

 

Some which offer those types of cards, and pull EQ or TU, are BECU, NFCU, SECU MD, Dept of Commerce FCU, Lake Michigan CU, Dept of Interior FCU, Digital FCU, and Virginia CU.
