Hi,
You can get your credit card from here:

You may not even be able to get a secured credit card with charge offs and collection accounts.
If you have any open lines of credit, pay them on time. You need at least 24 months of consistent, on time payment history to improve your score. If you don’t have open lines of credit and can’t afford to do a secured credit card, your only option would be to wait out the 7 year reporting period.
Get from a foreign country.
You’re gonna have to get a secured credit card.
WTF??? Who says you even need credit cards? This country is drowning in credit card debt….. and don’t let ANYONE tell you that you cannot live good without one. I’m well over 40 and never had or want a credit card. My crdit score is ZERO. I still have everything I need, want and desire. Listen to Dave Ramsey and get the truth about credit. The card issuers and banks all want you over a barrel so they can stick it to ya. They make a damn good living off of people that cannot live within their means….. don’t fall for it!
Question: What cards should I apply for?
Answer: None. You will not be approved for any cards (other than secured cards, which you have already stated you cannot do) and applying will make your score even worse
Question: How could I raise my score without a card?
Answer: Pay off the accounts that are in collections
Question: And what is a good APR for my situation?
Answer: Being able to get any APR would be good. I think you qualify for none.
You are not going to ever raise your score by carrying balances on a credit card.
Carrying balances is a good way to RUIN your credit score.
If you get a credit card – pay it in full each month.
It is 100% myth that carrying balances and paying interest is good for you.
