\n“Rebuilding Your Credit After Bankruptcy in 6 Steps<\/em>” is a series of posts that will appear over the course of the next couple of weeks. Following these 6 steps will help you lay the foundation to achieve better credit. Here are the six steps:<\/p>\n

Step #1<\/a><\/strong>: Review Your Credit Reports
\n<\/a> Step #2<\/a><\/strong>:\u00a0Get a Secured Credit Card
\n<\/a> Step #3<\/a><\/strong>: Get an Unsecured Credit Card
\n<\/a> Step #4<\/a><\/strong>: Pay Your Monthly Bills, On Time and Every Month
\n<\/a> Step #5<\/a><\/strong>: When Appropriate, Get and Pay a Mortgage Payment or Car Loan
\n<\/a> Step #6: After Seven (7) Years Ask the Credit Bureaus to Remove the Bankruptcy Off of Your Credit Report<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Congratulations, if you made it this far you have likely rebuilt your credit to a point that you and your family can be proud of.\u00a0 You have the ability to get credit and financing for different types of property.\u00a0 Being smart, though, you know that just because you can get it doesn\u2019t mean you need it.\u00a0 Keep making your payments and living within your means by following your budget and you will be on your way to financial bliss.<\/p>\n

As I\u2019m sure you know, bankruptcy can remain on your credit for 7-10 years from the date of filing.\u00a0 We always tell our clients, if it has been 7 years since you\u2019ve filed your bankruptcy, send something in writing to the credit reporting bureaus and ask them to remove the bankruptcy.\u00a0 They aren\u2019t required to do this but you see that they usually will.\u00a0 Again, congrats on your fresh financial start!
