What about my credit score? Will I ever be able to get credit again?
The Washington State and Federal
bankruptcy laws were enacted to protect you. They were also designed
to allow people to begin rebuilding their financial lives. Because
filing for bankruptcy ultimately wipes out most, if not all, of your
outstanding unsecured debts, your minimum payments on this debts are
also wiped clean from your creditor report.
Many factors go into your credit score. But two of the most important factors remain how much you owe and how much available credit you are using. The amount of credit that you have available is also a factor. In most cases, filing for bankruptcy will ultimately assist you with all three of these factors.
Of course, careful financial planning and prudent debt management following filing for bankruptcy are crucial to rebuilding your credit. By doing so, you will gradually increase your credit scores and maintain them over time. Within a few short years after bankruptcy, however, many people can have FICO credit scores exceeding 700.
