Life after Bankruptcy

Professional Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 Litigators

After people have filed for bankruptcy, they may assume that the process has ended after their debts are discharged.  However, there are numerous things that people must be aware of in order to ensure that life after bankruptcy is rewarding.  Immediately following bankruptcy, people need to focus on rebuilding their credit.People can rebuild their credit by doing the following things:

• Paying bills on time.  Paying bills when they are due will help people increase their credit scores and also help people avoid late fees and interest rate hikes.
• Monitor credit reports.  By monitoring their credit reports, people can catch any false information or inaccuracies.  They can then file disputes to have inaccurate information removed which may lead to increases in their credit scores.
• Keeping a steady job and income.  When people are able to stay employed and are able to report that they have steady income, they will increase their chances of securing credit in the future.  Additionally, people will demonstrate that they are financially responsible.
• Focus on sticking to a budget.  One of the best things people can do after they have filed for bankruptcy is to create a budget and to stick with it.  Having a budget allows people to pay their bills on time, live within their means and even save for the future.
