Re: Optimal Number of Cards

I just came out of bk 5 months ago so im in the same boat as you are.  i got a car loan right after my bk but everything else is hard.  so i decided to get a cc to better my credit.  the only thing negative is my student loans, which im paying to the bc.  ive got one secured Capital One card and got approved for a secured Continential Finance card through Discover but didnt take it.  im going to up my cl on my Capital One card.
