There a 2 very strong ways to improve credit after bankruptcy. A secured credit card is the main choice. Secured is when you send the credit company money and in turn they send you card with a credit line of the deposit (Capital One) is the most used and recognized. After good payment history these company will return your deposit and increase your credit limit. This takes about 12-18 months to go from secured to non-secured credit.
The other is "bad credit" car loans. These companies will finance everyone regardless of credit but they report prompt and good payment (as well as bad) to the credit files.
After the first six months your credit score will increase by 25 points and after a year 50 points and after 2 years 100 points and after 3 years 150 points. The lowest score after bankruptcy you start at is 425 so in 3 years your credit score goes from 425 to 575 which is the minimum base from conventional loans.
However after 5 years with no "blips" on payments your credit score will be $675-700 which is good credit and securing conventional loans becomes much easier.
There is no guarantee of getting loan despite all this but financial banks always look favourable of people who take responsibility and change their financial patterns for the better
