Credit After Bankruptcy

November 29, 2010
Have you declared bankruptcy? Are you worried about getting credit? Well, do not hit the panic button right away. Obtaining credit after bankruptcy is possible. In fact, it is important to restructure your credit record post bankruptcy since it is the way that creditors measure your creditworthiness. Bankruptcy delivers a heavy blow to your credit history and score. The score receives a major setback and it is important to improve the score to gain back the confidence of creditors. Bankruptcy more or less stays on your credit report for ten years; however, you can still qualify for loans and credits with good rates before the bankruptcy remark is removed.

Credit Report Errors

October 19, 2010
Your good credit can be used to determine your eligibility for everything from a loan to getting a new job. The credit report itself contains information such as your current and previous addresses, if you pay your bills in a timely manner, and even whether you have ever been sued or arrested, or filed for bankruptcy. That information is then gathered by three major reporting agencies, Experian, Equifax and TransUnion, and sold to potential employers, banks and financial institutions, who use it to determine whether or not to give you a loan or rent you a home. The Fair Credit Reporting Act seeks accuracy and privacy when it comes to information and credit, and you should frequently review your credit report to check for inaccuracies.

Credit Repair After Bankruptcy

April 29, 2010
Once you've filed for bankruptcy, you might think that your credit is ruined forever. The good news is that's simply not true. Bankruptcy only remains on your credit report for 10 years, and during that time there are a lot of things that you can do to help improve your credit score. Even with a bankruptcy on your credit, after a few years (often three) you can qualify for a mortgage. You can also generally get a car sooner than that, and start qualifying for credit cards again. Some companies start sending out pre-approved, secured credit cards offers to people almost as soon as the ink is dry on the bankruptcy discharge papers.
