Credit Rebuilding After Bankruptcy Just Became Easy
If you were to believe what you hear and see in the media you would think that the credit rebuilding process is nearly impossible after filing bankruptcy. I don't want to mislead you by any stretch of the imagination into thinking that it will be a walk in the park. I do however want to show you that you can do it yourself.
It would be impossible for me to explain everything there is to know about recouping from bankruptcy, in one article. However what I can do is give you a couple of tips that will allow you to rapidly get results.
In most cases after a bankruptcy is fully discharged you will still have some old accounts listed on your credit report. If some of the old accounts are still listed on your report this isn't a problem simply have the credit bureaus remove them, by showing them proof that they were included in your bankruptcy. If you have a few accounts that were not listed in your bankruptcy, you will need to start the credit dispute process.
It is recommended that you approach the credit rebuilding process in the same manner as you normally would. Begin by requesting copies of your credit reports from all three credit agencies. With your credit reports in hand, you should highlight any and all errors found on the reports. If you are unsure of anything on your credit report, it's best to dispute it anyway.
You are now at the point where it is time to take the gloves off. It's time to begin the credit dispute process that I mentioned previously. To put it in a sentence or two, the credit dispute process is just a series of letters. When applying the credit dispute process make sure to include any proof that you may have that will validate your claims.
The difficult part is now behind you, and it's time to play the waiting game. No worries though, you won't have to wait to long. Why you may ask? Good question my friend... You won't have to wait long because, legally the credit bureaus have 30 to 45 days to investigate you claims. If they fail to respond in the alloted amount of time then by law the credit bureaus have to remove the claims in question.
Since you have a little time on your hands while you wait for the credit bureaus to complete there investigations, you can get started on establishing your new lines of credit. This can be accomplished by obtaining one or two secure credit cards. Please do not make the mistake that many people do and try to apply for one of those department store credit cards, they are useless and do more damage than they do good.
DO NOT jump on the first secure credit card offer that comes along. Check the interest rates, review the terms of conditions. There is usually some sort of annual fee. Make sure to do your homework before making any type of commitment.
Although secure credit cards are a great way to establish new lines of credit there is a downside. Secure credit cards in most cases requires some sort of setup fee, and just about all secure credit cards require a deposit. The minimum limit in most cases is usually around $300. Lenders do this to protect themselves, if the borrower fails to make payments they forfeit their deposit.
The reason that I am recommending this method to you is because the secure credit card lenders report to the credit bureaus just like the regular ones do. It's a win - win opportunity, so don't mess it up.
