Best Answer

Nowadays bankruptcy usually lasts about a year. Once your bankruptcy is discharged you will be free to start re-building your debt free life. You will probably find it almost impossible to get unsecured credit for a number of years. Mortgages are more available, but the rates will be higher. It pays to shop around, because the rates on adverse credit loans can vary widely.
