WHAT ARE THE EFFECTS OF A DISCHARGE?


A Bankruptcy filing will stay on your credit report for 10 years.

 

However, the filing of a Bankruptcy will not keep you from getting credit.

 

Once you have received your discharge in Bankruptcy we recommend that you begin your "Fresh Start" with a secured credit card.

 

A secured credit card will help you establish a new credit history while helping you spend within your means.

 

Credit cards should be used responsibly and paid at the end of every month in full.

Why would a bank give you credit again after you filed for Bankrtupcy?

 

Some of the reasons why banks are willing to extend credit to Bankruptcy filers are:

1. You don't owe anyone any money (dischargeable debts eliminated)


2. Since you don't owe any money you have disposable income;

3. In most case you can't file a Bankruptcy again for 8 years, so there is a high likelihood you will pay your debt or they can sue you on your post bankruptcy debt; and

4. The banks can charge you higher interest because you filed for Bankrupcy protection in the past.
