Find the best financial services for you at: SMARTFINANCESOLUTIONS.NET - After Bankruptcy, can you still have a credit card? Or not? You need one card, can you still have one? - In Australia, you can't have one as no one will give you a credit card. You have to wait for 7 years until this information is removed from your credit file and by then, you have no credit history so, its almost impossible to obtain credit card. I don't know how different things are in US but, I would think it would be very similar. Good luck.. -
