How Will Bankruptcy Affect Your Credit? Filing bankruptcy is not the end of your credit, but an opportunity for a new
beginning. In fact, bankruptcy eliminates much of your debt and gives
you a “fresh-start”. The credit rebuilding process can truly begin
following a bankruptcy, and all of your debts discharged in bankruptcy
should be reported as having a zero balance or be listed as discharged in bankruptcy.

How Soon After Filing Bankruptcy Will You Qualify For New Credit?
While a bankruptcy is reported on your credit for 10 years
following the filing of your case, it doesn’t mean it takes 10 years to
obtain more credit. Typically, recent bankruptcy filers qualify for
certain types of credit immediately after their bankruptcy is
discharged.

What Debts Will You Be Able To Keep After Filing Bankruptcy?
The bankruptcy code requires that you disclose all of your
assets and debts in your filed bankruptcy petition, even if you want to
keep paying on some of those listed debts. Your bankruptcy schedules
indicate these debts you intend to continue paying.
