Many have concerns about life after bankruptcy, and whether their credit will be ruined forever, and what will happen with regard to their future ability to buy another home.

Relief from Creditors: Life after Bankruptcy

The first change that almost all of our clients comment upon is the freedom that they experience when they no longer have to deal with constant hounding by creditors. Having debt and creditor problems is extremely stressful, and every day is a nightmare, every time the phone rings or you look at your mail. All of these collection actions stop at once when you file for bankruptcy. If your wages were garnished, this also comes to an end. You will have your whole paycheck and will be able to afford the necessities that you may have been struggling to afford.

Credit issues after bankruptcy can be much less of a problem than expected. As most people who file for bankruptcy already had serious credit problems with overdue payments, charge-offs, and other credit difficulties, you may actually improve your credit quickly after filing bankruptcy, as you will no longer owe for the debts that were discharged in bankruptcy. Usually you will begin receiving offers of high interest or secured credit within a short period of time, and with a clean slate, you can begin to rebuild your credit by carefully managing your finances going forward. Our legal team at Brown, Van Horn P.A. can discuss your personal financial situation and advise you of the pros and cons of bankruptcy, help you review all the alternatives and guide you to the solution that will be most successful in your case.
