I believe that most lenders will require 2 years from the date of discharge. Depending on your payment history over the last 12 months some may be able to make an exception. Keep in mind that the date of discharge is different from the date the bk was filed.

Is it possible to get financing to purchase a house and a car after filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy for the second time?

You need your Bankruptcy Chapter 7 to be discharged first before getting a loan to buy a house. Most lenders require two to four years of re-established credit before they will consider making you a loan. However, many lending sources are competing today to make loans to borrowers with less-than-perfect credit even if you have had your Chpter 7 discharged less than two years ago. You may need to put down a sizable down payment,and have sufficient income to qualify howevevr. there are some mortgage lenders that will allow one day out of bankruptcy with 100% financing


How difficult is it to get a car loan after being discharged from chapter 13 bankruptcy?

It's fairly easy to buy a nice used car after you've been discharged from bankruptcy; there are companies that send mailings to these people offering them car loans. You'll pay a high rate of interest,though. Buying a nsw car or leasing a car tends to be more difficult, but if you have an income adequate to pay off the loan, you may be able to get those, too.


How soon after filing chapter 13 can you hope to buy a home?

Is it okay to purchase a car before you file bankruptcy?

Yes, as long as it is not excessive and you plan on paying it back. In other words don't buy a Mercedes if you usually drive a Honda. And any auto loan made within 910 days before bankruptcy cannot be discharged. So if you can't pay for it they can come repossess it.


Is it better to buy a car with a horrible credit history or wait until a bankruptcy is discharged?

Wait until the bankruptcy is discharged. Dear Lord, yes, wait until the debt is discharged! Otherwise you will get stuck with horrendous interest rates which, even if you can afford the resulting inflated monthly payments, will take forever to build any positive equity in the vehicle. And remember that a discharged debt is not the same as a charged-off debt...you will still owe a charged-off debt.
