Some really good "BK friendly" credit cards...

Not all people who apply so soon after a Chapter 7 get approved so you may want to wait a bit after you get your discharge. I recommend Orchard Bank and Washington Mutual. Avoid offers you may get from banks like Aspire, etc. who extend you $300 of credit but after fees you end up maybe with $25 in total credit until you pay those fees. Read the fine print and do your homework.

Hi all!

We aren't even near completing our bk yet, but wanted to get a list together of what ya'll think are some really good credit cards to get after the bk.

I don't want a lot of hits on my credit report, so I want to apply for one, maybe 2, to rebuild my credit.

I've read about Orchard Bank, Target, Hooters (which my husband was thrilled to hear! LOL)

Is it best to go secured right away or wait a few months and do unsecured?
