I don't plan on taking on anymore debt but I know that if I want to rebuild my credit score that a secured card with money in a savings account is a good way to do this. Problem is I have been researching cards and what I found is you are not eligible until 18 months after bankruptcy. Which means I would need to start building a savings account. To anybody who has been through bankruptcy is this normal? -
