Rebuilding Your Credit After Bankruptcy

wpadmin on August 19, 2015 Posted in Rebuilding Credit

Facing financial struggle can be uniquely challenging, and may leave you feeling like there is no solution. Often, people who are unable to pay their debt may not consider bankruptcy. A common misconception about bankruptcy is that it will permanently ruin your credit. In reality, filing for bankruptcy allows you to manage immediate debt problems while also protecting your financial future. If you are concerned about how bankruptcy will impact your credit, read the information below. Then, discuss your legal options with an experienced bankruptcy attorney in your area.

Impact of Bankruptcy on Your Credit

Filing for bankruptcy will affect your credit. By filing for bankruptcy, you are stating that you are unable to pay your current debt. This will impact creditors’ decisions to lend to you in the future. It is important to note that bankruptcy alone will not permanently ruin your credit. You will need to take proactive steps to rebuild your credit over time; however, your credit can recover.

Generally, your bankruptcy case will remain on your credit score for a certain number of years, depending on the type of bankruptcy. If you file under Chapter 7, it will stay on your credit report for 10 years. Chapter 13 bankruptcy will remain on your credit report for 7 years. Creditors will use that information when determining your eligibility and interest rates for future loans.

How Can I Rebuild My Credit?

It is important to keep focused on your financial future before, during, and after the bankruptcy process. You will need to strategize about your next financial steps. Depending on your case, you may still have some debts to pay after your case has ended. Whether you are paying off student loans, credit cards, or just a utility bill, it is essential to make every payment on time. This is one of the most important steps you can take to rebuild your credit.

It will take time to rebuild your credit after bankruptcy, but an improved credit score can be achieved with some financial common sense. In addition to making payments on time, you should also carefully evaluate any future loans. Even if you qualify for a loan after bankruptcy, consider avoiding additional debt if possible. Making a budget and financial goals list can help you stay focused on repairing your credit. You may want to consider undergoing financial counseling or debt education, if you have not recently done so. Finally, be sure to closely monitor your credit report over the next few years. This will help you make any necessary adjustments in your financial planning.
