I would really like to know why all credit card companies deny my applications for bad credit credit cards.

First of all, you need to find out the reason of these rejections. Issuers typically send a rejection letter with explanations, so just read it attentively. Then, check your credit reports to make sure that there are no mistakes. In case there are some, you can dispute them with the bureaus. You also should have all your credit accounts in good standing, no active bankruptcy, no overdue payments and no excess of the limit. After paying off the late payments (if you have those) pay on time at least for two months on all accounts. Only after that you can try to apply for a card again. But make sure that your credit corresponds the required by the credit card you apply for.
