Credit after bankruptcy ... One of the most common questions

One of the most common questions I receive from clients is, "When will my credit come back?" I always try to assure my clients rebuilding credit can be done with a little effort and discipline. I also blogged about it in the articles at the links below:

Bankruptcy - mortgages and rebuilding credit - a brief conversation with a banker ...



But the question continues to come up and I found this article. I thought people might want to hear this from someone else:

 "Bankruptcy afflicts over a million Americans on a yearly basis, and going under financially is widely viewed as a nightmare scenario. That isn't necessarily the case, as a new Lending Tree report shows.
In fact, more than 40% of Americans have a credit score of over 640 one year after filing for bankruptcy, 65% of bankrupt Americans see the same score (at least) three years after a bankruptcy..."


The article goes on to list actions a person can take to rebuild credit. There is life after bankruptcy.
