There is no set credit score that everyone is assigned after filing bankruptcy. How much your credit score drops depends on a lot of factors, including how many debts you discharged, what your score was before you filed, how many secured debts you reaffirmed, and what type of debts were discharged. Hope this helps!
Yes, a reaffirmed mortgage needs to reflect the mortgage payment history before, during and after the bankruptcy proceedings. "In Bankruptcy" needs to portray only DISCHARGED BY or INCLUDED IN...Bankruptcy. Contact your mortgage company so that all of your payment history shows on all three bureaus. No. Not if it were a part of the bankruptcy filing. It may or may not be marked included in bankruptcy or reaffirmed in bankrutpcy. It will still remain on the CR for the prescribed time.
Yes. You are not really getting credit-it draws from your balance like an atm.
You have to, it is a debt...it is just a secured debt...by the lien on the property.
It is possible to recover from a bankruptcy. You should start by getting a secured credit card to rebuild credit. After about seven years you should be able to find a standard credit card that will allow you to get a card.
Try your bank to see if they offer a secured credit card. Bank of America offers a secured Visa and the credit line is equal to your deposit amount. Beware of secured cards with high interest rates and fees!
it does not work
The bankruptcy stays on the credit report for 7 years, so you need to try to build up your credit profile.
A great option to rebuild credit after bankrutpcy is getting a secured credit card. Secured credit cards can be used just like regular credit cards, the key difference is that they require an up front deposit to secure the credit limit. For example if you want a $500 credit limit, you will need to make a $500 deposit. For most secured cards there is no credit or bankruptcy check. You will receive a card as long as the issuer can verify your identity, residence and deposit. You will build positive credit as long as you make your monthly payments on time and keep your balance below your credit limit. Once you build positive credit histoty, you can then qualify for unsecured credit cards. You can close your secured credit card account at any time and receive a full refund of your original deposit amount (minus anything you owe).

One of the most common first steps to repairing poor credit after bankruptcy is to get a secured credit card. This is because a secured credit card needs a security deposit in case you don't make payments.
Credit rating plummets when filing for bankruptcy. Bankruptcy should be the last resort and one should try everything to not go bankrupt - keep saving as much as possible.
The judge may disallow those debts from the bankruptcy because you are obviously attempting to defraud the credit card company.
