Credit After Bankruptcy
Some people resist considering bankruptcy because they believe it will ruin their credit. In fact, the opposite is true. After filing for bankruptcy most people’s credit scores start to improve, as your dept-to-income ratio is now zero.
If you have had your wages garnished, are facing foreclosure on your home, or are risking the repossession of your car, filing for bankruptcy may actually improve your credit.
At the Bankruptcy Center of John D. Raymond, we have helped thousands of people obtain debt relief and get a fresh financial start.

We want to help lift the debt burden from your shoulders so that you can start building a better future for yourself and your family.
Save Your Credit
Your FICO Score — the main measure of the health of an individual’s credit — determines whether creditors will lend you money, how much, and at what interest rate. The higher the score, the better. As your debt to income ratio increases, your score decreases. Every late payment decreases your credit score. If you default on your loans without filing bankruptcy, your credit is likely to be so damaged that you will not be able to repair it by yourself.
After we file bankruptcy for you, your debts will be reduced or eliminated. You can get the extra cash flow you need to avoid late fees so you can rebuild your credit.
Take Control of Your Life
We will help you find relief from creditor harassment and begin the steps to rehabilitate your credit.
An attorney at our firm can recommend the right solution for you. Once you hire us to represent you, creditor harassment stops that day. We will then work to reduce your debts to a more manageable level.
Your Credit Rating Can Improve
Our clients’ FICO scores generally improve immediately after bankruptcy, as their debt to income ratio is reduced. Within a few short months, they start to see offers for credit cards. Car loans are available, and after a while, you can take out a mortgage.
