Hi there. I was just wondering if anybody knows how to get a credit card when u have bad credit. This is only a question so no need to say anything rude. Thanks

Try to get a Capital One.

You could get a prepaid travel card. It is a good way to keep yourself accountable for what you are spending.  
 
You put the money on beforehand. You only have so much on there and you cannot go into debt with it. You can use it in the same situations as you would a regular credit card.  
 
We will never own a credit card. This is much better in so many ways. Compare what is available out there before settling on one.

when receiving a card is there a certain fee that needs to be paid?

You could try asking your bank if they offer secure credit cards. You'd need an amount, say 500 to put on hold for a few months tho. You give them $500 they give you $500 Credit card then after paying it off on time for a few months they give you back your $500 and you keep the card building up your limit by using and paying off the credit.

They have SECURED credit cards you can get through Capitol One. They set up your account , you send in the amount the request, it's usually $300.00. Then you get the card and use it like a regular credit card, except for the monthly pymts work a little different.

Secured. Like the folks above said. I went through this bank to build up my credit. It was suggested by a trustee. It worked and years later credit companies are sending me pre-approved applications.

For the travel card there is a small fee.  
 
You are best off going with the [i]travel[/i] card and avoid the dangerous trap of having credit card again. You will never go into debt through this sort of card. It trains you to only spend what you have. That is a very good thing.  
 
With a [i]secured[/i] credit credit card, you have the possibility of going into debt again...which I am sure you don't want.  
 
You need to know that there are much better ways to build your credit than to own a credit card. You don't have to have one as some will tell you. Keeping your bills paid on time is a big factor in rebuilding your credit. This is only one example.
