Is it possible to get a credit card after bankruptcy??

Jos

Hello!
Does anyone out there know if it is possible to get a credit card after bankruptcy? I was declared bankrupt a year ago, i have now been discharged. I have applied for a debit card with my own bank, but it was declined, so after that i thourght, there would be no way i would be accepted for a credit card. I would like a credit card just for use for shopping on the internet & to help build my credit history.
Can anyone help?

My dh went bankrupt years ago, he was discharged after 2 years but he cant even get a bank account now, not even a joint one.

May be a different story for others though.

Great..theres hope for me yet then!

Also, does anyone know about the 'cash plus' credit card? Instead of being like a normal credit card, you take it to the post office and top it up (as you would with a mobile phone top up card) and use it like a normal credit card but, without the debt, you can only spend what you've put on your card. :question: :rolleyes:
