What You Should Know About Bankruptcy And Your Credit Score

Learn How Your Credit Will Be Impacted After Bankruptcy In Santa Rosa

Many people who are thinking about bankruptcy are already dealing with late payments, missed payments and defaults on their credit reports — which are also viewed negatively by sources of credit. It can often be beneficial for your credit to wipe the slate clean, even if it means having a bankruptcy on your record.

You can repair that credit over time by starting a savings account, setting up automatic contributions, paying off credit balances every month and regularly monitoring your credit report. Many people who have filed for bankruptcy see credit card offers only weeks after the process is over, and it may be possible to get car loans, home loans and other lines of credit after a short period of time.
