How long does one have to wait before applying for a credit card once they have filed for bankruptcy?

There isn't a set amount of time that one needs to wait to apply for credit after filing bankruptcy. Some experts actually suggest that one tries right away to obtain a credit card. Keeping the balance low and paying a percentage every month without fully paying off the debt will help rebuild damaged credit.
