Leaving Your Bankruptcy Behind

According to the United States Bankruptcy Court's website, the rate of bankruptcy as nearly doubled over the last ten years, with nearly 1 in every 140 households declaring bankruptcy in 2009. With the current financial crisis, it’s no wonder so many consumers have found themselves drowning in debt.

While bankruptcy can provide financial and emotional relief, its effects on your credit report can haunt you for up to ten years. Future creditors view bankruptcies as questionable when accessing their lending risk. On the surface, a bankruptcy is seen as signal of the borrower's inability to manage money. As many who've declared bankruptcy know, this isn't always an accurate assumption. Sickness, job loss, unfair lending practices, and unexpected emergencies can take their toll on already stretched budgets and force families into bankruptcy.

Having a bankruptcy on your record will send your credit score in a tailspin. And as you’ve probably heard, a low score isn't just embarrassing-it's expensive. Each year folks with a less than perfect score are forced to pay thousands of dollars more in interest rates for necessities like cars, furniture, and homes.

There is a way to move past bankruptcy. THE MITIGATION LAW GROUP begins disputing items that are inaccurate, unverifiable or misleading and works to remove bankruptcies from credit reports.
