Does your credit score go to zero when you file bankruptcy?
Interesting Question! A credit score of Zero occurs for a variety of reasons-most due to no credit history, but not due to bankruptcy. Zero credit score can occur because you have not had any credit within the past seven years; you have never had any credit; you have had your credit account suspended due to report of identity theft or fraud; or you were convicted of a felony. There may be other reasons for a zero credit score not mentioned here. The normal range of score is around 300 - 850 (depending on your information source). After bankruptcy, a FICO score in the mid to high 400 range, but after a couple years, this tends to come back up to the 500s, even low 600s (depending on how many accounts were included in bankruptcy).

Filing for bankruptcy will in general lower your credit score, but with some good spending habits and good financial stewardship will again rise over time, especially since part of your credit score has to do with income to debt ratio. When you file for bankruptcy, the debts do not simply disappear as if they never existed. Your history of late or missed payments, if you have one, will remain on your credit report and will continue to drag down your credit score. Additionally, the bankruptcy will stay on your record for many years. A Chapter 7 bankruptcy will remain on your credit report for 10 years from the date of the filing
