“Rebuilding Your Credit After Bankruptcy in 6 Steps” 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:
Step #1: Review Your Credit Reports
Step #2: Get a Secured Credit Card
Step #3: Get an Unsecured Credit Card
Step #4: Pay Your Monthly Bills, On Time and Every Month
Step #5: When Appropriate, Get and Pay a Mortgage Payment or Car Loan
Step #6: After Seven (7) Years Ask the Credit Bureaus to Remove the Bankruptcy Off of Your Credit Report
After you’ve spent time laying the foundation for your new credit by using a secured credit card you will want to begin looking for an unsecured credit card. An unsecured credit card is a card where you do not put up collateral (cash, automobiles, etc.) as an assurance that you will pay. We typically recommend that you use a secured credit card for at least one year before moving on to an unsecured card. Sites like www.CreditCardGuide.com or www.CreditCardTuneUp.com will allow you to browse a number of different types of unsecured credit cards. Regardless, at the appropriate time take the next step to get an unsecured credit card.
