    You will be most likely approved for a Secured credit card.
    You can apply for one at your local branch.

    I have to second A First premier secured card. They have reasonable intrest rates and do report to all 3 bureaus.

    The best answer for you is Not to apply for another credit card..especially if you have a history of not being able to manage one. Credit cards make huge money for the banks at your expense…pay cash when you can afford to and don’t buy when you can’t….credit cards are like a drug, an easy fix…fine till you eventually wake up!

    I have a secured HSBC Orchard Bank card. It’s wonderful! They report to all 3 credit bureaus. I pay in full and only use about 30% of my available credit. At the time of application, I had to give them $200 and that determined my credit limit. That’s the way to go.

    There are more that a few lenders who specialize in credit cards for people with bad credit. You just have to look a little harder than most people have to.

    And getting a card after you’ve had a few problems doesn’t necessarily mean that you have a higher than normal rate. Like I said, you’ll just have to compare between credit lines, yearly fees, and interest percentages. Just make sure you do your homework BEFORE you commit, and you’ll be fine.

    You can find some offers for credit cards, both secured and unsecured here:
