Bankruptcy credit card
By Jakob Jelling
A bankruptcy credit card is basically a card that you can get despite bad credit.
If you have been in bankruptcy in the past, you are probably finding it difficult to build up your credit rating again. One of the reasons for this is that most of the major companies will not offer you a credit card or other loan due to your past bankruptcy. There are a few things that you can do in order to lessen the effect that that bankruptcy has on your credit now, but one of those options (wait until it is no longer on your credit report) is not a good idea if you need a credit card or loan now.
There are some companies that will offer bankruptcy credit cards. Essentially, these are credit cards for people with no or bad credit. The advantage of getting one of these credit cards is that by paying off your debt on it, you can start to improve and build up your credit report so that you'll be able to get loans and other credit cards in the future. The disadvantage is that in a lot of cases, these cards have high interest rates associated with them, or high annual fees.
If you are going to get a your first credit card and you have not been through bankruptcy proceedings in the past, then you should be careful in order to continue avoiding them in the future. For instance, you should only get one or maybe two credit cards at a time. The more credit cards that you have, the more likely it is that you'll rack up a huge credit card debt. Credit card debts are very hard to pay off, so you should be careful not to get in debt to begin with. If you do, there's a good chance you'll end up going bankrupt.
If you're worried that you might go bankrupt over credit card debt, then you should look into some of the debt consolidation or elimination services that are online. These services should help you get rid of the debt you have. Just make sure that you thoroughly research any company you decide to go through so that you can be sure they can be trusted with your credit history.
