Will lenders allow someone to remortgage their home if the credit is bad?

If you add your husband to your Capital One credit card will it improve his credit score?
Not only will it not improve his credit score, it could lower yours. When a lender looks at a borrowers probability of repaying a loan they look at BOTH borrowers. If one has a credit score of, lets say, 680 and the other has a score of 500, the lender will be less likely to give the loan then if the 680 borrows the money individually. If the lender does give the loan (or credit card) it will be at a higher interest rate using both borrowers than for the 680 borrower alone.
Can you ever get another car loan once your car is repossessed?
Sure, you can. The entire sub-prime lending market is waiting for you. Max legal interest rate, higher DP, its all about you. The OCC bulletin 2001-6 says: "The term "subprime" refers to the credit characteristics of individual borrowers. Subprime borrowers typically have weakened credit histories that include payment delinquencies, and possibly more severe problems such as charge-offs, judgments, and bankruptcies. They may also display reduced repayment capacity as measured by credit scores, debt-to-income ratios, or other criteria that may encompass borrowers with incomplete credit histories. Subprime loans are loans to borrowers displaying one or more of these characteristics at the time of origination or purchase. Such loans have a higher risk of default than loans to prime borrowers.
What does a credit for a bank do?

Getting a Low Interest Rate for an Auto Loan?
Interest rates for auto loans will vary from lender to lender so savvy borrowers should check with multiple lenders before choosing who to borrow from. Lenders base the interests rates they offer their borrowers on factors such as the borrowers' credit report score, income and collateral. Borrowers who are clearly in a position to afford the vehicles they are purchasing and who have credit history that puts them in good standing will be able to secure low interest rates for their auto loans, especially when they carefully consider the rates offered by different lenders before selecting their loan provider.
Is it possible to get an unsecured personal loan if your credit isn't that great. No up front fees, low interest, and 5-10 years payoff. we had filed for bankruptcy and it was discharged in October 2009.?
The answer to your question as you have posed it is "no." Unsecured personal lines for recent bankruptcies with low interest, no fees and extended payoff terms is not an option. You may be able to borrow from some lenders, but you will likely pay the max interest, high processing fees and be subject to the terms the lender sets, not the ones you want. Low interest, no fees, no collateral are all the stuff of borrowers with great credit scores. Borrowers with perfect credit can shop for low-interest, unsecured loans with no fees and an extended payoff. High-risk borrowers with poor credit and a recent bankruptcy do not have that luxury.
Is credit card interest deductible?
Sadly interest is not tax deductible, especially for individual borrowers that don't have a business. Business owners *might* be able to argue their case if they absolutely had to borrow money in order to start a business, but interest on personal credit cannot be deducted... * note: that might depends on how lenient the IRS feels for a particular industry, or even what year it is. Typically, they want all the money they can collect.
What is a good credit card with low interest?
Keep in mind that interest generated by credit cards is a major source of revenue for lenders. That said, lenders are not motivated to extend "low interest" to borrowers (which is what a credit card is: borrowing) except in promotional offers that might extend zero interest for six to twelve months. Go to www.creditcards.com to review the various offerings from lenders.
