First of all, I would wait a few months and request a free copy of your credit bureau (by mail) to make sure your bankruptcy is no longer on your file. Hopefully all your creditors with negative ratings are all gone. If you have any creditors with good ratings, you should continue using them because the established creditor is good for your bureau. If you do not have any good creditors then you should try to apply for one or two creditors and keep them in good standing for at least 2 years before applying for more, if necessary. Personally I think 2 or 3 creditors are maximum you should have.
