Yes, there is a bright light at the end of the tunnel! Many people worry that if they file Chapter 7 bankruptcy or a Chapter 13 debt consolidation, they will never be able to rebuild their credit, own a home or regain financial independence; however, by making smart and informed decisions through a bankruptcy or debt consolidation, it is possible to rebuild your financial life after filing a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13. For example, it is important to maintain employment, spend wisely and set aside earnings for savings or investments. You must also make loan and credit card payments on time. For some people, bankruptcy was the only choice due to medical bills, health problems, divorce, or job loss, while some simply made poor choices about money. For the most part, what our Montgomery bankruptcy lawyers have observed through four decades of practice is that most Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 clients are in our office due to reasons that do not involve poor financial decisions; however, at some point everyone has made poor financial decisions! Therefore, it is important to manage your finances and set goals that help avoid getting back into the same or similar situation that led you to file bankruptcy! We work with all of our clients who are nearing the end of their bankruptcy process to become better educated. It is important to know that there are many lenders who will now offer extremely high interest loans and credit cards with interest rates in an attempt to get our clients to go back into debt. These lenders know that it will be impossible for the person to enter into another bankruptcy for a few years, and the lender can continue to prey upon that person. We do our best to prevent this from happening! Our Montgomery bankruptcy lawyers and Selma bankruptcy lawyers provide financial management courses on how to make the best possible decisions now that the bankruptcy is completed; and of course, even after you have completed your debt consolidation or bankruptcy, we are always here to help!
Generally, Chapter 7 clients will instantly see some improvement in their credit score upon the discharge of their case. In a Chapter 13 case, most clients will start seeing some improvement in their credit score within 6 months of having their debts consolidated. There is no quick fix, but with patience and hard work by your Montgomery bankruptcy lawyers or Selma bankruptcy lawyers and by you, then you should start seeing a difference!
