<human>: A little background: Apparently someone took out a huge loan worth a couple thousand under my SSN when I was around ten years old, and I had no knowledge of this whatsoever until about a year ago when I attempted to open a checking account. The bank manager was called over and told me that I couldn't because I had bad credit, which utterly shocked me since this was my first time opening any sort of account. After months of the bullshit of credit report companies (having to send in  copies of various documents to verify my identity and nothing matching what they had on file since the shit they had were fake addresses, names, etc of the b*tch who used my SSN), I finally got to see my credit score, and it is pretty shit low. I asked if I could somehow have my credit score "start over" since it was identity theft, but apparently they can't do that and the only way to bring my score up is to get a credit card and make payments on time. 

Since I am a complete nub here, do you have any advice as to what I should be looking for in credit card offers, what to avoid, and any other things I should know about credit cards, credit scores, etc?

Can you condense the text into three sentences or less?
<bot>: I have shit credit because some b*tch stole my identity almost a decade ago, and I need to get a credit card. Wtf should I know/ do?
