Rebuilding Credit after Bankruptcy

Rebuilding your Credit History after Bankruptcy

After bankruptcy, at some point you may look at getting a personal loan and wondering “Can I get a Personal loan after being discharged from Bankruptcy?”

The majority of Type ‘A’ lenders (most major banks) may not offer credit to someone that has been cleared from bankruptcy in the past 7 years. 7 Years is the time that your bankruptcy will be associated with you on your credit report. So getting a line of credit from some major banks could be a bit more difficult.

What are Some Options?

Credit History Review. It is always a good idea to keep track of your credit rating and history, so if any discrepancies do show up, you have the option of providing up to a 100 word note explaining the situation from your side.

Secured Credit Card. What is a secured credit card? This type of credit card is secured via the money deposited with the bank you are dealing with. The credit that is granted is equal to the amount of money that you deposited. This can help with building your credit history and rating. While any type of credit card may not be a good option for all, there are still other viable options. Read more on using credit wisely for a more indebt look.

RSP/RRSP loan. You could also consider applying for a RSP/RRSP loan with your bank.

Savings. If you don’t have a savings account, now would be a good time to start one up. If you do have one, make it a point to start putting away money each month, and be consistent about saving. Having some type of savings that you can access it for any emergency bills that come up can be helpful as well. At some point there will be an unexpected bill, and having a bit of extra cash to use can help you with getting through this.

Rebuilding your credit takes time.

You need to be consistent about making your payments with any loans, bills and/or credit cards that you do have. These payments have to be paid on time each month (no missed payments). Keeping a steady and consistent track record will help you with regaining/rebuilding your credit history.

I worked primarily with Christine, who was very friendly and outgoing. She was quick to help me, and explained everything I needed to know very well. She's quick to answer any questions I may have as well. The other members I spoke with were also very kind and jovial, and were happy to help me with anything they could. They made sure my proposal fit within my budget, and got everything going very quickly. I was happy to work with them, and would highly recommend their very friendly service!

From the moment I sat down in the office, I felt welcome and at ease. Grace Cuffaro was both friendly and highly informative. She is extremely knowledgeable and answered all of my questions in detail, making sure I understood before moving on. I was reassured throughout the process that I was making the right decision and that it was not uncommon nor anything to be ashamed of. I didn't expect my appointments to be such positive experiences, but that's exactly what they've been!

I was in a tough financial position and found myself searching for relief. I came across David Sklar & Associates page when doing my research on financial advice. The reviews were amazing, but I was concern because I didn’t know what to expect. I made the decision to set up a consultation and had the pleasure to meet with Jennifer Norton. Right from the beginning, she was attentive, knowledgeable, and pleasant to meet with. The experience was painless and very educational. Jennifer made sure I understood my choices, answered my questions, and concerns promptly, in person, over the phone and via email. I’ve been working with Jennifer for a couple months now and I am pleased that Jennifer is the manager handling my file. I would and have recommend Jennifer Norton, David Sklar & Associates to anyone in need of direction regarding finances.
