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). Hope this helps!
