Try the credit card listings that are on this site. Match your score with the score range and you may be able to get one. Other than that, you may have to resort to getting a "secured" credit card and build your credit back up.

From what I've read today, it said that bankruptcies and some other public judgments stay on your credit report for 7 - 10 years. But I've seen judgments paid off and removed from the public record in the credit reports within 4 years time.

The credit card laws are changing.. you may be able to work around it.
