I wouldn't worry so much about low balling to get it paid off, you should be more concerned about pay for delete. I just finished cleaning up 11 of them, all pay for delete and the average pay off was about 60%. I paid off the smallest ones first and told the creditors that wouldn't pay for delete that I will get back to them after I pay off the ones that will. Your score will come up quick and once you hit the 650-675 You will have a lot more options.
Good luck! It's worth every penny you spend to have good credit.
Having three cards is nice, but there's no rush to get there. You don't want any cards like OpenSky. Give it time, and your current loans and cards will be showing a positive payment history. At that point, more options should open up.
How old are your current cards? That might help us to get a handle on when might be a good time to apply again.
I would check Merrick for prequals.
I never paid them a penny for fees or interest.
Also keep checking Cap One and Discover prequals for new accounts.
Maybe ONE store card from somewhere you shop a lot? Walmart, Amazon?
Stay away from predator cards and tons of store cards.
Rember to keep your inquiry count low. Maybe 2 or 3 every 6 months MAX.
GL!

Seconding Merrick Bank, they’re a decent rebuilder. Also there’s Lendup Arrow and Ollo. I have Lendup and they’ve been very good so far, great customer service and their site is bare bones but much better than Merrick. Don’t have Ollo but I would have applied if I needed a third subprime. But I would wait for an offer that has no annual fee, or try for a store card. GL!
