Benefits Of Debt Counseling After Bankruptcy

While bankruptcy can be a very effective method of relieving your overwhelming debt load, there are drawbacks to the process, such as the negative impact that filing can have on your credit.

However, there are many actions you can pursue after bankruptcy to improve your credit, including:

• Asking to be named as a co-maker on a credit card
• Saving a reasonable amount of money each week
• Opening a secured credit card in your own name after six months
• Monitoring your credit rating: a person is entitled to receive one free credit report per year from each of the major credit reporting bureaus: Experian, TransUnion and Equifax. You can then dispute erroneous credit information on the report.
• Paying bills on time if you file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy: it is highly beneficial to make on-time payments to your bankruptcy trustee and to promptly pay all other bills and utilities
