How bad will personal bankruptcy affect my credit?

Richard B. Jacobson
Answered by attorney Richard B. Jacobson (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Richard B. Jacobson Associates, LLC
Bankruptcy definitely causes a reduction in your credit score. Exactly how much depends on a complex algorithm which is not public. BUT if you are considering bankruptcy the likelihood is that your credit score has already fallen quite a lot, or is about to do so. It is possible with the advice of a knowledgeable lawyer to rebuild your credit score in about 24 to 30 months. Good Luck.

What do I do if one of the accounts included is coming up during a mortgage financing search after it was discharged?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Dorothy G. Bunce (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at A Fresh Start
Not entirely sure what is happening or what you want to know. You have no right to have credit information be reported, and most creditors, including mortgage lenders, do not report after a bankruptcy discharge. Bankruptcy does not erase past credit reporting. You pay your mortgage and keep the property, or you stop paying and you lose the property by foreclosure. The mortgage discharge by bankruptcy only means that you cannot be personally sued for a deficiency in the event of a foreclosure.

Will I be able to use credit after I file for bankruptcy? How?

Answered by attorney Ronald Karl Nims (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Ronald K. Nims
Yes, in fact you'll be flooded with credit offers when you file. Most of the offers will be crap but there'll be some decent ones. Also, you'll probably still have your car payment. If you make all your payments on time after bankruptcy; you'll rebuild you credit in a couple of years. It's not uncommon that people buy a house two years after a bankruptcy
