I don't mean to be piling on here, but you now must stop applying for anything at all, period, until both lates are over a year old. Better still, over two years old.

 

Even if anyone approved you now, the CL and APR and fees would be horrible.

 

You have to look like a desirable credit customer. There's just no point in looking for credit until you do.

If you have a hard need for a credit card with a higher limit.  That is you have to purchase something that can only be bought with CC.     I suggest you look at Public Savings Bank secured card.    They have decent terms and don't do a credit check.
