Will filing for bankruptcy ruin my credit score?

Bankruptcy Court House

Will bankruptcy prevent me from getting credit again?

Short answer: OF COURSE NOT!

Filing for bankruptcy is the key to releasing you from debt. But declaring bankruptcy can, however, lower your credit score. It also stays on your credit history between 7-10 years (7 years for filing Chapter 13 and up to 10 years when filing chapter 7). But it’s really important to remember that getting rid of your debt will help you get out of debt. This will help you actually boost your credit score again while staying in your current situation (in debt) will not. So filing for Chapter 7 or 13 bankruptcy can be the first step to you getting credit again.
