Myth: Your Credit Score Never Recovers After Bankruptcy

Fact: Filing for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy stays on your credit score for 10 years.

However, your financial future isn't set in stone. While you can't typically remove a correctly reported bankruptcy, you CAN rebuild your credit with responsible use of small credit cards.

Within about a year, you might see your credit score start to climb. Remember, you're not blacklisted from credit forever!

Myth: Bankruptcy doesn't really get rid of debt. Sooner or later, you still must pay it all back.

Fact: Bankruptcy can permanently eliminate the vast majority of your debts. Most bankruptcy filers don't lose anything either.

Sarah, a 32-year-old marketing professional, found herself drowning in $120,000 of debt from student loans, credit cards, and unexpected medical bills. Despite working full-time, she struggled to make minimum payments and saw her debt growing each month. After consulting with a bankruptcy attorney, Sarah decided to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy.

The process was challenging, requiring Sarah to attend credit counseling, provide detailed financial records, and appear at a creditors' meeting. While her student loans weren't dischargeable, the court eliminated her credit card and medical debts, giving Sarah a fresh start.

Post-bankruptcy, Sarah focused on rebuilding her financial life. She created a strict budget, opened a secured credit card to rebuild her credit, and took on a part-time job to tackle her remaining student loans. Five years later, Sarah's credit score had significantly improved, allowing her to qualify for a mortgage. She now approaches finances with newfound wisdom, grateful for the second chance bankruptcy provided.

- During the pandemic, debt limits were changed to a combined limit of $2.75 million.
- Since June 21st, 2024 debt limits are back to $465,275 Unsecured and $1,395,875 Secured

Subchapter V Bankruptcy:
- During the pandemic, debt limits were changed to $7.5 million.
- Since June 21st, 2024 debt limits are back to $3,024,725.
