Many people think that once they claim bankruptcy, that's it! That's not the case.You have to work hard to prove your credit worthiness to creditor's. The good thing is creditors will take a chance with extending you new credit, because after bankruptcy discharge you have no bills to pay. In this article you will learn the steps nessasary to start re-establishing your credit to an excellent credit file. Please allow me to share my personal experience so that it may help you.

First, while in the process of bankruptcy your mind and goal should already be targeted to trying to re-establish your credit. You do not have to wait until discharge to start researching the companies that will help you re-establish your credit. Once you have found those companies, find out what are the creteria of them and how you can start a new account with them. The internet is a great way to do that! My favorite site is www.bankruptnews.com (you know why) you can get a great deal of companies that are willing to do business with you. If you don't find what you are looking for there then try using some key internet search words like "after bankruptcy credit cards", "credit after bankruptcy" and "re-establish credit after bankruptcy".You would be surprise at the many results that come up. Being discharge from bankruptcy is a beautiful thing if the opportunity is used right. Most people have better credit after claiming bankruptcy than they did before the claimed.

Now that we have done our research lets verify what our credit file says now so we can be prepared for our feature creditor's. Once you have recieved your discharge letter, pull your credit! Verify that your credit report says either "discharged" or "in bankruptcy" if you find items that were included in bankruptcy but do not state this,immediately send a dispute letter. That will take (30) thirty days but it will be worth it. Every few months check your credit for accurancy.Don't worry about it going pulling down your credit score. When you pull your credit it does not count against you only when your potential creditor's pull it.

Since we now know what's in our new report and we have the companies that except bankruptcy discharged canidates, we are ready to apply for new credit. My first advice is to get a secured or unsecured credit card. Most creditors will be a little liery to extend credit but I have a few sure creditors who will extend you an unsecured credit card. My first recommendation is Orchard Bank! Orchard Bank will give you an unsercured credit card with a great starter limit. Click here to get started today! My second choice is Tribute Visa! Now Tribute Visa is an unsecured card as well, however it addes a few fees such as monthly service fee and and annual fee.The great thing is these charges do not come out your pocket immediately. Given you chance to start building your credit with the first monthly payment.
