How to Rebuild Credit After Bankruptcy
How long will a Bankruptcy ruin a person’s credit?
If bankruptcy is inevitable, you may file either a Chapter 7 bankruptcy or a Chapter- bankruptcy. Chapter 7, also called a “liquidation bankruptcy,” provides for the discharge of your debt. Chapter-, also called a “reorganization bankruptcy,” allows you to negotiate a repayment plan.
Will Bankruptcy Affect Your Credit History Adversely?
Creditors will stop trying to collect amounts you owe once you file bankruptcy. However, this will adversely affect your credit history for quite some time. In essence, filing bankruptcy will make it much more difficult to purchase a home or buy a new car.
If you do nothing to remove bankruptcy from your credit report, it will remain for 10 years. You might try rebuilding your credit score, which will instantly drop hundreds of points, but this is hard when nobody wants to offer you credit.
A credit company will most likely deem a person with a bankruptcy on their credit report as a possible financial liability. In light of this, you might want to consider repairing your credit score.
You can take immediate action to rebuild your credit, instead of prolonging your credit misery for 10 years until bankruptcy drops from your credit report. If you choose credit repair, you may be able to rebuild your credit score in a fraction of the time and be approved for new loans more quickly.
Legally Rebuild Credit After Bankruptcy
Challenging information on your credit report IS legal. Pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), you may contest any entry on your credit report which you believe is inaccurate.
If you send a dispute letter to a creditor or credit bureau, the disputed entry must be investigated and verified within a specific timeframe. Subsequently, the negative entry must be deleted in its entirety if it cannot be verified.
Expert advice can be invaluable if you decide to pursue rebuilding your credit. Lexington Law’s legal professionals can guide and assist you in your attempt to remove negative entries. Consider contacting Lexington Law to get the assistance you need to clean up negative entries on your credit report.
