building credit score after bankruptcy

blue_star_2

I was declared bankrupt in 2011 and would like to build my credit score up again so if later in future I need a good credit score for mortgage or something it isn't a prob. Ive heard Martin say over and over the best way to build credit is to get a credit card and pay it in full each month. I would like to do this but dont think I will be approved as I am unemployed due to being single parent to a toddler and I'm also at college.
Is there a card that I would be approved for or is there another way to improve my credit score?
Thanks for any help

Aqua and Vanquis seem to be the easiest. Interest rates are horrendous though

In your situation a mortgage is a VERY long way off. I would just chill about your credit file for a few years. At the point where you can start serious saving for a deposit, then start rebuilding your credit record.

Not a problem if you don't pay any though....I've had a Vanquis (now gold) for three plus years with a current credit limit of £3000 and the interest rate is irrelevant because they've never had a bean out of me.
