    5 Things You CAN Do After Bankruptcy - #5

    #5 CAN DO: Have a 700+ Credit Score Two Years after Discharge

    You might find this statement suspect, which is understandable really when you consider the many stories of how one bankruptcy can thoroughly damage the credit rating you’ve been building up for years. Expert after expert has said that new credit is near impossible to get after filing for a bankruptcy.

    However, in almost the same breath, the experts likewise say that it is not impossible to rebuild your credit worthiness after bankruptcy. And this is bolstered by the fact that you had good reason for the bankruptcy, such as unemployment, medical, business failure, etc, and that you immediately took steps re-establishing credit after receiving the discharge.

    So why then, despite complying with these two requirements, your credit score remains way below average? The answer lies in your credit report.

    Your credit report contains everything about your finances. All of the information contained in your credit report, when added up, result in your three-digit credit score. Hence, any errors in your credit report, such as a fraudulent credit line or a debt that remains even though it was supposed to be discharged after bankruptcy, can aversely affect your credit score.

    Common sense tells you that if you correct these errors and mistakes, you can improve your credit score. Also, some creditors make various inquiries into your credit report. This act could lower your credit score. What’s more, after a discharge, they are allowed to make only one inquiry into your credit report. After that, you are entitled to ask for $1,000 every time they look into your credit report.

    Make certain that your creditors are not making any more inquiries into your credit report. Write them a letter explaining that the debt has already been discharged. Include a copy of the discharge order as well as a copy of the “Schedule of Creditors” from your bankruptcy papers as proof that the debts have already been discharged.
