Go to your local bank and apply for a secured credit card. If you don't want to do that, then i suggest you wait it out and apply for another credit card at a later time.

Also, check out creditkarma.com, If you can't even pull a creditkarma query then you're out of luck for the time being.


firstprogress.com is a secured credit card. Also You must be a resident of a US state; however, at present the program is not available in Arkansas, Iowa, New York, or Wisconsin.

I guess I have to wait or mail the credit bureau for further instruction.

I was skeptical about firstprogress.com at first. I filled out their online application and submitted my deposit. They called me a week later to verify my address. I got my card 3 days after verifying my address. I used every month and paid every month. After 3 months, I was able to see my credit score. I noticed that they actually did report to the 3 credit agencies since first month.

I was also rejected for the capital one secured. I applied again to the same capital one card and was approved after building credit with that firstprogress card. I also applied to bank of America and was approved.
