No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
It would go by Missouri laws and have to be vacated there if they allow it. It usually requires you to go to court.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with applying while you try to clean up your report. You have to start somewhere. Applying for credit is a necessary evil while rebuilding.
Have you tried to get a secured with your bank/CU?
My bank is BofA and I just got secured with them last week remember.
Starting Score: (FICO)(August 29, 2013) 502(EQ) 568(EX) 549(TU) Yes, and I just read that too lol.
I would let the Cap 1 update and see what your score is. Also see if the medical collections will do a PFD.

Capital One Charge Off - $200 CL --- Balance is $355 (Charged off this year) WAIT FOR THIS BALANCE TO UPDATE AS 0
