What are the best credit cards to apply for after bankruptcy?
These are the three options for best credit cards after bankruptcy:
H.S.B.C ,
First Premier and
Orchard Bank.
But remember that getting a secured credit card is always the best option since your credit is already damaged and the unsecured credit cards might not be easily given to you.Getting a pre-paid credit/debit card will also be the best option.
You must not just stop with getting the credit cards,but should regularly pay the payments to the lender – this will slowly increase the credit and would be very useful once you plan to get a mortgage after the bankruptcy.It is possible to buy a home after bankruptcy – but a little time is required to bring back the decent credits.
