Credit Repair After Foreclosure

May 26, 2008 · Print This Article

So many people think that once they have been through a foreclosure, all of their debts have disappeared and they can start over again with a clean slate as far as credit is concerned. It would be nice if a bankruptcy could do all that for you, but it cannot. If you have had to file for bankruptcy because you have been having trouble with your finances, you have damaged your credit.

It’s not too difficult to rebuild your credit after you have have gone through a bankruptcy. What is difficult is sticking to the habits that you must adopt in order to do so. You need to create a budget, and follow in religiously. You should make certain that any bills you have are paid right on time. And, you should try to get some sort of help from a professional to help manage your money.

You may think you don’t need the services of a professional, and feel that you can handle this new plan of a budget without any help. But, the situation that got you into the position where you needed to file for bankruptcy is far to easy to get in again.

Know that you can not do all of this without taking your time. Good things do come to those who wait! A credit counselor can help you to see how this can be done. They truly do counsel you, and can help you to see how the bad habits you had before can get you in trouble with your credit again unless you change them now. Overspending will get you right back into the same situation once more. Credit counselors will help you to figure out a monthly budget that is workable, and still leaves money to pay whatever bills you may have. They will also explain to you just how important it is to your future to clean up your credit.

Bad credit can keep you from doing so many of the thing you will probably want to do in the future. It can either keep you from getting a mortgage at all, or cause you to have to pay a huge interest rate to buy a home. It can affect the job you have now, or the one you may look for in the future. It can keep you from having a credit card handy that you can use in case of an emergency. Bad credit just is not good at all!

You had your reasons for going into debt before. Now, you have learned what can happen when you do. When you take advantage of credit repair after foreclosure, you can put your credit mistakes behind you and build a good credit rating.

    My son and daughter-in-law just filed bankruptcy a year ago, and had a horrible time being able to rent. They lived with me for a year before renting a place. I think it can be done earlier.

    Good luck!

    It depends on your state's laws. And I would suggest talking to a bankruptcy lawyer.

    It's been a while since I practiced law (went into nursing), and I know the bankruptcy laws have changed, but still worth a shot.
