Encinal, TX Bankruptcy Law Firms & Lawyers

In my practice, I've found that most couples can buy a house at reasonable interest in two years after filing a Chapter 7. You'll need to reestablish your credit. That means you have to make your payments on time to a business that reports to the credit agencies. For example, you're renting an apartment or a house, you pay utilities but most landlords and utilities don't report to the credit agencies. Car loans and credit cards generally report, so if you have a car loan, you're rebuilding your credit just by making the payments. When you filed bankruptcy, you received a swarm of car loan and credit card offers - many of these are ripoffs but you should look at them and if there is a low limit credit card with a good interest rate (in your case consider 18% a good interest rate), then apply and make the payment every month.
