Difficulty Rebuilding Credit After Bankruptcy

Relief. Restore. Renew.

Let Parker & DuFresne bankruptcy law firm help you through the entire process.

Filing for bankruptcy can be a difficult and stressful process for anyone to go through.

There are so many variables to consider, so many documents and forms. Likewise, there are many legal liabilities that need to be considered.

While it is not necessary to hire an attorney to file for bankruptcy, it is widely suggested that you do.

The right attorney will not only represent you to the State, they will guide you through every step of the process, make sure your forms and documents are filled out correctly, and protect you from making a mistake that could land you in hot water.

Either way, after the bankruptcy is completed, chances are that your credit score will have taken a hit.

This is perfectly normal.

However, many people will see their new credit score and think that they will not be able to rebuild it. Or, they’ll believe that it will take years to bring it back up.

That is simply not the case. While it may take some work and patience on your part, that fact is that rebuilding your credit after bankruptcy can be as simple as following a few steps.

Likewise, it can take a lot less time than many people think.

Your credit score is a very important piece of your financial portfolio. With a poor credit score, it become extremely difficult to attain loans for things such as a vehicle, a small business, or a home.

And if you are fortunate enough to attain a loan, the interest rates will undoubtedly be very high.

Here is an example:

Someone with a credit score of 589 will pay 20 – 24.99% interest on a 5-year car loan while someone with a credit score of 720, according to MyFICO™, would pay on average 4.6% per year. So, if you borrow $15,000 to buy a car; you’ll be spending around $160 extra every month and nearly $9,600 extra over the life of a 5-year car loan.

Likewise, the options for places to buy a new car become severely limited.

New car dealerships are typically very hesitant to provide loans for new cars to people with poor credit, if at all.
