Rebuilding credit rating after bankruptcy

I was discharged from bankruptcy back in 2010 but two of my creditors left default accounts on my credit report. One of these accounts was lifted last December and the other remains (I assume 6 years to the hour they will lift it later this year?).

What's the best credit card to apply for to help rebuild my credit score? I do have a bank account now (no overdraft) and that's up to date, but I have no other credit and I have no idea where to start to rebuild it. Any advice gratefully received!

    I would try maybe a Vanquis card for credit building, I started with them a few years back with a £200 or so limit and it is now at £3000.

    Good Luck.
