[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]People turn to filing for bankruptcy when the debt becomes too much for them. It relieves them of some of their debts and protects them from lawsuits, and repossession but this can affect their ability to get loans and credit cards. Bankruptcy lowers credit scores and remains in the credit record for about 0 years, however the impact lessens with time. Before you can be considered for a loan, your bankruptcy needs to be discharged and the discharge comes as an order from a court eliminating your debts. Lenders check your report to also access your credit worthiness. Ensure you check your credit report before applying for a loan and find out if there are mistakes which would be addressed immediately.
While applying for a loan, the lender will ask you questions about your bankruptcy to find out when it was discharged, what you did to e stablish a new credit, and how you have been handling your bills. You should prepare answers to these questions beforehand. Different types of bankruptcies affect you differently.
Chapter 11: Reorganization
Chapter 11 bankruptcy is used by businesses and canalso be filed by individuals who have more than enough money to qualify for Chapter 7 filing or have more than the amount if debt allowed in chapter 13 bankruptcy. Provided you have stayed long enough for the bankruptcy to expire, you can get a mortgage.
Chapter 7: This type of bankruptcy allows you sell your properties to settle your credit card debt, personal loans , medical bills and others.
