Credit card for someone with poor credit history

in Credit cards
Hi,
I have a bad credit file with a number of defaults (some settled, some not).
I want to start building my credit score back up, I was thinking of using a credit card for things like petrol etc that would cleared every month.
I'm not too concerned about high interest rates (as I hopefully won't need to pay them!) can anyone suggest a card that I would likely be accepted for?
Any help would be appreciated.

Unlikely anyone will accept you with unsettled defaults I'm afraid but if anyone were to say yes I'd expect it to be Capital one, Vanquis or Aqua.
