Try Capital One, H.S.B.C., First Premier and Orchard bank.

Usually a card company will not issue a card to someone with bad credit unless you can get someone to co-sign with you. If you have the money in the bank, get a debit card instead which will work as well as a credit card without paying ridiculous amounts of interest and if you keep enough in the bank you may even make money instead on the interest they pay on the money you have in the bank each month.

Your best bet is a secured credit card through a well known bank. With a secured card you pay money (usually in increments of hundreds) and if you use that card, pay it back (on time) and so on and so forth you will get your money back and start to establish good credit.

You can get cards, but the limits are going to be low and the interest rate is going to be high, plus many of them make you pay fees. Try this website. http://www.creditcards.com/bad-credit.php?a_aid=1017&a_cid=1045

You can start by purchasing a "cash" credit card. In other words, you deposit a certain amount of money with the CC company, and they issue a card with that limit on it. If you find the right co., you can deposit new money when the amount gets low, thereby raising the limit.

You can also go to your local bank & get a debit card.

If you're trying to fix your credit then it's going to be really difficult to get a credit card. Maybe a credit card isn't a good idea right now? Most credit card companies figure that if you can't pay off your other bills, why issue you a credit card if you're not going to pay?

That's one of the reasons the banks who gve mortgages to people with bad credit are going down right now. Yahoo! news reported that CITI Bank's CEO stepped down because the company was losing money from people who hadn't been paying their mortgages. So why would a bank want to give you a credit card if you're not going to pay? They definitely don't want to lose money.

But I'm sure there are some of those credit cards which you can buy at a store or get at a loan place. I think my dad had one from ACE but they charged him like $2.00 per transaction.

It depends on how bad your credit is... Capital One & HSBC/Orchard bank offer high risk cards; many banks offer SECURED Visa/MC - where you back the card with real money; if your credit is really in the toilet.. try First Premier.
