Building a Good Credit Score After Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
A good credit score after filing for bankruptcy, rebuilds and reverses most of the negative impact of filing and puts the debtor on firm financial footing again. When reporting agencies remove the bankruptcy filing after 7 years, the key is to maintain a clean record. While some Chapter 7 bankruptcy filers may want to go out and celebrate their newly found debt freedom, caution should be exercised. The same financial mismanagement practices that caused debtors to file bankruptcy seven years ago are prone to entangle them again if vigilance is not exercised. Maintain the same standard of living experienced while going through the bankruptcy filing.
