Best Answer

You can get a home loan with negative items on your credit report. Provided that most items are paid off and those that aren't have payment agreements with the collection agency. As long as your credit isn't too terrible, you can in most cases receive a home loan. But, you will pay for it with a higher interest rate.

Can you keep items you purchased on credit cards if you file bankruptcy in tn?

Yes, you do. Credit card purchases are not secured by the purchases. Please be advised that if you file and have all debts discharged by bankruptcy court, it stays on your credit record for 7 years. You will not be able to get any credit for anything for 7 years. Get used to the cash or check only for 7 years if you file. Even then it will be hard to re-establish credit. If you do get credit cards etc after that, you will be paying the highest interest rates, and may even have to have a co-signer for a loan on something like a car and for sure on a home. My next 2 car loans after I filed required co-signers. Just so you know.
