What Happens To A Credit Score After Bankruptcy?
There are several reasons why credit scores improve after filing bankruptcy:
- By filing bankruptcy, you are telling potential creditors that you have taken steps to get your debt problems under control.
- If you are in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you are making regular monthly payments. Each payment enhances your credit rating and increases your creditworthiness.
- If you filed Chapter 7, credit rating agencies draw the logical conclusion that because your unsecured debts have been liquidated, you have increased cash flow and the ability to assume additional debts.
In fact, your credit rating will begin to improve within 60-90 days of filing bankruptcy. At that point, you may be able to get a car loan or make other purchases on credit.
