Rebuilding Credit after Bankruptcy
After successfully filing for bankruptcy, the action will appear on your
credit report for seven to 10 years, depending on the type of bankruptcy
you file for. But this does not mean that you cannot start rebuilding
your credit until that period is over. There are several ways that you
can begin building up your credit immediately after filing for bankruptcy.
Start rebuilding your credit as soon as possible by:
- Budgeting to make all minimum payments on time for any remaining debts
- Closing down any remaining credit cards and stop using debt
- Checking your credit score
- Keeping track of your spending
- Building up an emergency fund
- Applying for an installment loan as needed
- Getting a secured credit card that has a low limit and no annual fee
- Giving it time to build as you continue to take the necessary steps
