So, as some of you may know, I filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy pro se this past January and had my debts discharged. (Yay!)
Anyways, I ran afoul of all of my credit cards three years ago when I was put into a situation of paying the entire rent on an apartment that was basically my entire month's salary (I make around $1.8k a month and my rent was $1.5k). Short story: both roommates moved out with no notice.
Couldn't pay my bills for 4 months so when I was ready to they were so past due, etc. etc.
Anyways, I recognize that in order to improve my credit, I need to have credit.
