orchard or maybe cap 1
both wil get you started on secred cards that can graduate to unsecured cards.
Cap 1 worked well for me and the terms werent all that bad.

Your scores are not all that horrible. resist the urge to get more than one sub prime card. Just pick one - pay on time perfeectly. in about a year/maybe less get a store card. I;m sure not long after that you can be close to qualifying for a prime card. The key is - no mistakes. I m at 56 months and you can be there too before long!
