    Charles,
    Start with a secured credit card. <www.capitalone.com>, or <www.providian.com>

    Good luck in your journey !

    Excellent advice.

    I was sent invitations by both companies as I was filing my Chap 7 B.K. The Capital One offer was better. I requested and received it in Nov. 1998, the same month I filed. My attorney at the time told me that this would happen and advised me to take at least one offer.

    Keep a sense of humor over what is happening. It is not the end of the world. Just don't plan on buying or leasing a Mercedes any time soon. Sorry for the bad humor. I guess I am too relaxed over my B.K. at this point.

    Good for you!! A forclosure complicates the B.K. I know because I had both.
