    I would think that it will be virtually impossible until at least 2011.

    You may consider a pre paid card.

    if you have been discharged then it won't be impossible, only very difficult.

    There will be somewhere that will give you a credit card but probably with 39% interest rate or there abouts. maybe worth considering if you can pay it off every month to build up your credit rating.
