Secured card Ventura Ca area

Hello all. I am in the process of rebuilding. My scores are in the 590's. I have about 8 baddies all coming in 08/09. Since then I have an auto loan from Wells Fargo never late opened in 2011 feb a Kay's card limit 800 balance 500 since June never late. Amex oasis limit 500 balance 135 since jan 2012 never late. I am seeing if anyone has any experience with Ventura area credit unions or Los Angeles area credit unions. I am looking to open a secured card. Prior to that I am going to pay off the Kay's card so my utl should be better. Thx for your help!

@Lightdog555 I don't know how much of a factor it will be but when I recieved my first secured card from Capital One I was in Encino. After six months of perfect payment history, I was pre approved for a Capital One rewards card. Either way, at 590 IMO secured is the way to go. Good luck and keep us posted. 

Starting Score: 546

Since you are already a customer, the Wells Fargo secured card has good terms and likely approval.    Worth considering if CU does not work out.

It can be an on line credit union as well. Just really looking for a card that can grow with me. I know cap 1 and some others don't grow. Really was looking for people's expericenes. Thx for the help!
