When bills start stacking up around your house or you begin screening calls out of fear of talking with another creditor, you may want to consider filing for bankruptcy so you can get out of debt and on with your life.

Getting a Loan after Bankruptcy

Whether you file for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy, each chapter can impact your credit score; therefore, hurting your chance at getting a loan. This doesn’t mean it is impossible, especially as your credit can steadily improve after bankruptcy if you make smart financial decisions. Regardless, you can still qualify for a loan after bankruptcy, but you may face some challenges such as:

  • Paying more up front on a loan or mortgage
  • Higher interest rates or longer waiting periods
  • Showing more proof of financial stability

While these challenges may not seem preferable, they could be a better option than remaining in debt now and not filing for bankruptcy.
