Those very much effect your credit, With bankruptcy your debts are cleared, However everything you have gets taken away, and you have to live 7 years without being able to even get a target card. Reposession will cause problems for you aswell especially when you want anothewr car loan or house. The above understates the seriously bad effect on your credit (or creditablity) it has. But really - what could be worse for your creditability than having asked for and made absolutely solemn promises that you would pay back a (or many) loan(s)....and then not doing so. Why are you believable or responsible now? Also, BK stays on credit reports for at least 10 years (most other things, like late payments, are only for 7).
