I’m emancipated and have court papers that prove i can obtain a credit card. Once I tell them i’m not 18 but I’m emancipated they just basically hang up. So is their any credit card companies that issue to emancipated minors.

To get your credit kicked off you usually need a co-signer much less need to be over 18. Try calling them and ask them about a department for getting help establishing credit. Getting it kicked off the pain.
Don’t expect it to come right away you’ll be paying through the nose for a while. Establishing Real and Good Credit just plain takes Years of History behind you.

There is no law that says a company must extend credit to you on the basis of emancipation. Age discrimination is illegal, but I think that only applies to between the ages of 40 and 70. For example, a rental car company can decide to refuse to rent to anyone under 25, even though such people are adults. I don’t think being emancipated makes you eligible to vote in national elections, either (I could be wrong).
I would suggest opening a checking account at a bank, and getting a debit card. There is really little difference between a debit card and a credit card when used properly (that is, you pay off the entire credit balance every month).
