No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
Do you have any charge-offs?
I would suggest, if you have one remaining, to obtain a copy of your free report from annualcreditreport.com.
Reports from that govt. sanctioned site are usually the most comprehensive.
If it shows no collections, then the problem is likely one with the vendor of the report you obtained, and not your file with the CRA.
