Know Where You Credit Stands After Bankruptcy
A bankruptcy action will stay on your credit report for 10 years, calculated from your bankruptcy filing date, the legal discharge of debt should be noted on the report. If a report fails to note the discharged debt balances as zero, according to federal law, you have the right to challenge the accuracy of the information under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
During your life after bankruptcy, a negative history with a zero balances on your credit report does not guarantee perpetual rejection when you want to buy a car or apply for a home loan. Credit repair is not hard, but it will take time. There are a number of things you can do to strengthen your finances:
- Start a savings account
- Set up automatic contributions from your paycheck to savings or retirement
- Use one credit card, and pay off the balance every month
- Take out a new, small loan and make consistent monthly payments on time
- Monitor credit reports, note inaccuracies and challenge mistakes
All consumers are entitled to free, annual credit reports from each major credit bureau. Proactive credit repair ensures that you avoid unfair bad credit ratings by a creditor involved in your bankruptcy.
