Rebuilding Credit After Bankruptcy

Rebuilding Credit After Bankruptcy--
when you can rebuild credit after bankruptcy? After you erase all your bad credits , right?
So,when you are rebuilding credit after bankruptcy consider some factors --while you take loan (with mortgage or without mortgage) and when you take new credit card after bankruptcy and when you buy new or old car or house with the aid of other financial institutions.
I alaways advice to take a pre-approved or secured credit card but -- a low interest rate is important. While researching some secured credit cards I ran across one with an interest rate of 23.99% and another with an interest rate of only 9.25%.
Next thing you should consider is a lower application fee. Again, I found some secured credit cards that have no application fees and one that had a-- are you ready for this?.....90$- $120 application fee!I advice you to search extensivly through internet a after bankruptcy credit card with very less or without application fee.


The second thing to consider while rebuilding credit after bankruptcy is low interest and long repay period car loan or any such type of loan from reputable lender online to make sure your personal information is secure.
Dont go for buy-here-pay-here car lot offers.

The third thing to consider while rebuilding credit after bankruptcy is rebuilding your credit history to increase your credit score. Be careful in this case. It can take one or two year for you. Rebuilding your credit history can increase your credit score. This in turn can mean the difference between qualifying or being declined for a loan.

If you increase your credit score enough it could help you get a lower interest rate - as a result, you could end up saving $100s or even $1,000s in extra interest.

Go for a sub-prime mortgage loan.
If you can, wait a couple of years after your bankruptcy has gone through before you apply for a mortgage loan. If you start small and prove that you can handle your small debts, within two years you will likely be able to qualify for a mortgage that is not sub-prime. This means lower interest rates. On a home loan, an interest rate that is even one point higher can cost you thousands of dollars of the life of the loan.
