Bankruptcy is better on your credit report than a foreclosure. Believe it or not, it’s true. You can get credit the day after a bankruptcy is discharged and buy a car or even a house. The interest rate will be higher than what you would truly like to pay, but the option is there.

Rebuild Your Credit

There is a way to re-build your credit slowly. It will test your ability to pay new bills on time. When offered a credit card for a high interest rate, take it. Get a $300 or $500 credit limit ONLY. Charge $50 each month. Here is the IMPORTANT PART: pay it each month on time and in full. Never be late with this payment. It is a test you must pass to build your credit. Over time, the credit companies will see that you can pay bills on time. This will help reduce your interest rate when you are ready to apply for credit on a home or a car.
