If you are filing because of unpaid debt that is too large to try to settle in a lump sum and you have bad credit due to slow pay/no pay or foreclosure, there are no negative consequences. Credit card companies will be offering you credit even before your case is closed. The bankruptcy will stay on your credit reports for 10 years. Bad credit marks stay on for 7 years, and if you have been sued and have judgments against you, the judgments stay on for 10 to 20 years.

If you are filing to get out of a student loan, child support or one debt you don't want to pay, don't do it.
