Rebuild Your Credit after Filing

The first step for rebuilding credit is getting rid of your previous debt.  It allows you the opportunity to be able to handle new credit.

Some tips include:

Open a new savings or checking account and start saving!

Start applying for new credit cards for items like gas and groceries that you would normally pay for with cash.

Apply for a secured card that regularly reports your activity to the credit reporting agencies. Make sure it is the type of card where you deposit cash and charge against it.

Get into the habit of paying your bills on time. Keep those utility and rent payments current.

See if you can find a cosigner for a loan and stay current with your payments.

Keep an eye out for mortgage lenders and car dealerships that claim to help with those that have filed bankruptcy.

Avoid pay day loans and finance companies that involve high interest rates.

Write letters to the credit reporting agencies explaining the situation that lead you to file for bankruptcy.

Make it a point to live on a new budget. Spend your money wisely and keep track of your expenses closely.

Make your payments on time for the debts that remain even after your bankruptcy filing.

Make sure the information on your credit report is correct.
