What do I qualify for?

My Fico Equifax is 544 I was wondering if anyone knows what types of loans/ credit cards I could be approved for. I currently have secured first premier, credit one bank unsecured, and fingerhut account.

Not much, Fico under 550 is considered pretty poor.

What are your cards currently reporting? If you're not doing so already,: reporting $0 on all-but-one cards and <10% util on one card could get your score up fast.

 

When your score is >570 you might be able to get a 39$ AF Cap1 QuicksilverOne, which is a pretty good card.

 

Getting your util straight and treating your credit lines well, will put you in a much better position

Cards: BCE 24k 5/'17 | CF 12k 10/'15 | IHG 12k 10/'15 | HH 6k 6/'18 | DS It 6k 3/'15 | TR 5k 11/'15
Scores: 760-770 | Inquiries: 0-1 | Utilization: 0-10% | AAoA: 3yrs | Bank: Ally | CU's: Navy & Pentagon

You could maybe try something like Kay Jewelers or Jareds but ....

 

You might be better off at this point just paying on time, watch utility and give it about a year.  Keep working on cleaning up negatives if you have any and are able.

Tthen go for something like the Cap One QS as already mentioned.

Once you get it, I would close out that FP card.
