Many people who are drowning in debt fear bankruptcy because they are afraid of its impact on their credit report. But in reality, it can actually improve your score in both the short and long term. Filing for bankruptcy allows you to wipe out your debts, start fresh, and rebuild your credit.

Even though filing for bankruptcy can cause a sharp drop in your score, it won't go too much lower if your credit is already bad. In reality, the positive effects often outweigh this initial blow, enabling you to rebuild your score.
Eliminating debts can rebuild your score by:
After your debts are discharged, you can start to rebuild. Since your outstanding balances have been wiped out, you will have more disposable income to make your new payments on time. When you establish a good track record, your score will increase. In fact, many people achieve higher credit scores post-filing than they had before.
Creditors are more likely to offer to finance a person who has discharged their debts than someone still buried in them. For this reason, you usually can get a credit card account or auto loan shortly after filing.
Bankruptcy can also help get your plans for homeownership back on track. When you're struggling with debt, your poor credit can disqualify you from obtaining a mortgage. However, if you file for bankruptcy, you can get an FHA mortgage after 2 years with Chapter 7 and 1 year with Chapter 13.
These laws were designed to help people suffering economic hardship rebuild their finances through a new start. Chapters 7 or 13 can help you find relief from creditors and a fresh lease on life.
With Chapter 7, you can start over by wiping out your unsecured debts, such as medical bills. While a court-appointed trustee is allowed to liquidate some of your assets to pay back your credits, the majority of DebtStoppers clients don't lose any of their personal possessions.
The other option is Chapter 13. If you take this route, you can reduce your debts and reorganize them into one affordable monthly payment. Instead of paying creditors directly, you'll send your payment to a court-appointed trustee for 3 to 5 years, allowing you to rebuild your finances over time.
An experienced bankruptcy attorney can review your situation's specific facts and circumstances and help you decide on the best option for you.
