Yes first try a secured card with a deposit from you and see how that goes. I first started my credit at a jewelery place called danielsjewelers.com they guarantee approval with a little money down on most purchases. Please check this place out and tell me what happens. Thanks.
crownjewelers.com will also give you a $1500 - 2500 credit limit with no credit check. They report to TU and EX only. They too also require a small downpayment. Buy something cheap and PIF the next month. You'll need to do this at least once a year or they will close your account.
Don't worry about it. That Applied Bank card is okay for what it is...but is not the best one. I rate it a C because it does not come with any grace period on purchases, even though the interest rate is reasonable for a secured card at 9.99% at least when I looked at it. Try Orchard Bank Secured (I have this one...very reasonable...best of the secured and you can apply and get a decision online instead of mailing in a money order) or U.S. Bank Secured (will have to mail in) or Elan Financial Bank Secured. BofA and Wells Fargo have secured, but they have a lower approval rate and are picky. I was turned down for a BofA secured card with a credit score of 620. Can you believe it? You could also try Total Visa by Plains Commerce Bank (it has a lot of fees though) or a crappy 1st Premier product, but again they sometimes want fair credit. Each one has their own rules.

Crownjewelers.com calls and verifies your employment & non resident relative, gives you an initial credit line, you first purchases require a small down + s&H, they report you to the bureaus, and in about 6 months they give a line thats good for 0 down based upon your payment history?
By signing up for counseling session, your provided details (Name, Email ID and Phone No.) will be forwarded to the company advertising on the DebtCC. However, you have no obligation to use their services.
Some creditors and collection agencies refuse to lower the pay off amount, interest rate, and fees owed by the consumer.
Creditors/collection agencies can make collection calls and file lawsuits against the consumers represented by the debt relief companies.
Debt relief services may have a negative impact on the consumer's creditworthiness and his overall debt amount may increase due to the accumulation of extra fees.
The amount which the consumer saves with the use of debt relief services can be regarded as taxable income.
