It used to be with a chapter 7, that you could go out as soon as your bankruptcy was discharged and get credit. In fact, you'd get credit card offers all the time. Not so much now with the economy the way it is. You should still be able to find some sub-prime auto financing, but be prepared to pay high interest rates for a while.

How soon after your discharge date after filing chapter 7 can you make a purchase for a 4-wheeler?

You could probably get a loan somewhere the same day, but the interest rate you will pay will be extremely high.


If you filed for chapter 13 can you purchase a new car?

While in a Chapter 13 debt repayment, the person(s) involved must have the permission of the assigned trustee before making major financial transactions. Failure to do this can result in the dismissal of the filing and/or other penalties. Not quite true. You can purchase a new car by obtaining a specific car loan agreement which does not seriously affect your chapter 13 plan payments and filing it with the court with a motion to approve the loan. The chapter 13 trustee must also agree to the new car loan. The details vary somewhat from one bankruptcy district to another, so consult a local bankruptcy lawyer.

CAN I QUALIFAY FOR A HOUSE LOAN IF I HAD CHAPTER 13?

Yes it is possible to qualify for a mortgage despite a Chapter 13 bankruptcy filing. In a Chapter 13 filing the debtor agrees to a court structured debt repayment schedule. Typically, after making payments on time to creditors as required by the bankruptcy agreement an individual can be discharged by the Court from the Chapter 13 proceeding. Once discharged from bankruptcy an individual can apply for a mortgage. Each bank has different rules about how soon someone can apply for a mortgage after a bankruptcy. Most people coming out of bankruptcy apply for an FHA mortgage loan since this program has the most lenient underwriting standards.
