Effects of Bankruptcy On a Credit Report in Georgia

Watch this video about the affects of bankruptcy on a credit report in Georgia. Call Hall & Navarro today for a consultation.

Question:

What will a bankruptcy do to my credit report?

 

Answer:

Many people ask us how a bankruptcy will impact their credit report. The answer is: it depends.

First, many people who come to us to file a bankruptcy already have bad credit reports because they’re behind or have missed some debt payments. In those instances, a bankruptcy really does not necessarily adversely affect your credit report tremendously. A Chapter 7 will show on your credit report for ten years, and a Chapter 13 is on your credit report for seven years.

The main thing to consider is what you are doing to get yourself into a better financial situation. The goal of a bankruptcy is to help you plan better for the future so that you are able to build good credit. If you have any questions, please give our office a call.
