Re: should i apply for a wellsfargo secured yes or no

Do you have any other open revolving credit? (CC's, lines of credit.)

If you can qualify for the WF, and if all you have is the BofA secured, I'd say go for it. And then stop. Two cards are all you need in the initial rebuilding stages. Don't go apping Macy's and WalMart and Target and Kay's and all the rest. Just give these two six months of perfect history (ideally 12 months), and then go looking for more cards.

And for all the Macy's fans out there, I will hasten to say that you can start with Macy's first, if you like. Smiley Tongue

Yes, go for the Wells Fargo.

Stop after getting it and the BofA.

Wait at least six months before looking at anything else.

In the seventh month, pull your scores. At that point, the new account sting should be gone.

Then, I would suggest Macy's if you want a store card. Otherwise, determine if your scores have improved enough for an unsecured bank card.
