After Bankruptcy Lenders

After you have been discharged from bankruptcy or completed your proposal, you may be a good credit risk, since you have no debt. You will find it a little harder to get credit until you can re-establish a good credit rating.

You can get credit again after a bankruptcy or a proposal. The bankruptcy and proposal laws of Canada are intended to give you a fresh financial start. The ability to rebuild credit is part of that new start. Although bankruptcy will stay on your credit report for 6 years after your discharge and a proposal for 3 years after the proposal is satisfied, there are many things you can do to start building a good credit rating. Two of the most important things you can do are to borrow money responsibly and make your payments on time.

Credit Cards:

When a person goes into bankruptcy he has to hand in all his credit cards to the trustee. After that person has been discharged from bankruptcy, he or she is often a good credit risk, since that person has no debt. Regardless, a discharged bankrupt often has a difficult time getting a new credit card.

An option is to acquire a "secured credit card". A "secured credit card" is a card backed-up or secured by funds you have deposited with the financial institution. The card looks like a credit card, and acts like a credit card but will have a limit depending on the amount of money that secures the card. Getting a Secured Credit Card is Virtually Guaranteed.
