Bankruptcy can remain on your credit report for up to 10 years, but you can start reestablishing your credit immediately.

Learn about credit.

First, let us define credit. Credit is your ability to borrow money. Many lenders determine whether or not to lend you money by examining your debt to income ratio: how much outstanding debt you have compared to your income. Remember that the reason that your credit is poor right now is because you have so much outstanding debt. Ask yourself, who would you rather loan money to; the person who has $20,000 in credit cards and could file at any time, or the person who has already filed, has no remaining debt, and could not file for another eight years.

Many Legal Helpers clients are able to purchase a vehicle on credit the day they receive their filing discharge. Often times you will pay a percentage point or two higher than a person with unblemished credit, but ask yourself how low of an interest rate would you be able to get in your present situation. You should be able to finance a home within two years after receiving a discharge, as long as you can provide a minimum down payment and show the ability to make the monthly mortgage payment.

Once you are a Legal Helpers client, you are a client for life. We will not abandon our clients once they have received their discharge from the court. This is part of our commitment to you to provide quality legal representation for a fair fee.
