Fresh Start
At Hurst Law Firm, we have years of experience helping people rebuild credit after a bankruptcy case. Both Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy are there to give you a fresh start by allowing you to discharge, or permanently eliminate, all of your dischargeable debt. Many people are concerned that once they file for consumer bankruptcy, they will never be able to rebuild their credit. This is simply not true. Once you obtain a discharge in your bankruptcy case, you can immediately begin to acquire credit again and rebuild your credit score. The Memphis based Hurst Law Firm can help. There is life after bankruptcy.
Credit Score
Most people are rightfully concerned that filing a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy will damage their credit score. However, by the time most people get to the point that they are seriously considering filing for bankruptcy protection, their credit score is already pretty damaged. Consider this: How good can your credit score be if you’ve had a foreclosure, repossession, eviction, garnishment, judgment taken against you, or simply haven’t been paying your bills on time? The truth is, you are not going to improve your credit score until those negative things are removed from your credit report or discharged. The sooner you file your Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 consumer bankruptcy, the sooner you can get that discharge and a fresh start toward improving your credit score.
Rebuilding Credit
Another major concern for people filing for bankruptcy is their ability to rebuild their credit. This is a valid concern but is generally overstated. Most people are able to obtain credit cards and buy cars within days after the discharge of their bankruptcy case. Most people are able to buy a house within a year or two of their discharge, even people who previously lost their home in foreclosure. You can rebuild your credit after bankruptcy.
