Most people are shocked to find they actually will start receiving offers for new credit once they file a bankruptcy case. Offers for secured and unsecured credit cards, car loans etc. You hear evidence of this everyday, just listen to the radio. Car advertisers or dealers saying, good credit, bad credit, Bankruptcy okay..... They mean it ,just don't expect to go in and command the best rates. Rebuilding is tough, make sure you make all payments on time no matter how small the debt.
