Preguntas Frecuentes

Can you get a credit card right after a bankruptcy discharge?

Yes, often within a few months. Once your Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 case is discharged, most rebuilders qualify for a secured card almost right away, because the refundable deposit does the work a credit check normally does. Some issuers approve you the same week your discharge posts. Unsecured cards built for challenged credit will also consider a recent bankruptcy, though they charge higher fees to do it.

Which credit card is easiest to get approved for after bankruptcy?

The OpenSky Secured Visa is one of the easiest, because it runs no credit check at all. You just fund the refundable deposit and verify your identity. Capital One Platinum Secured is another strong option that approves very low scores. Among unsecured cards, Destiny and Indigo reach deep into challenged credit and consider a past bankruptcy, but they cost far more in annual fees.

Should I get a secured or unsecured card after bankruptcy?

A secured card almost always wins. Both types report to all three bureaus and build your score the same way, but a secured card usually costs $0 to $35 a year while an unsecured card built for bad credit can cost close to $175 the first year. If you can spare a $200 deposit, take the secured route. Pick an unsecured card only if you genuinely cannot fund a deposit.

How long does bankruptcy stay on my credit report?

A Chapter 7 stays on your report for up to 10 years from the filing date, and a Chapter 13 for up to 7 years. The good news is that its weight fades fast. Most of the damage lifts after 2 to 3 years of on-time payments, and the first 24 months after discharge are when your score recovers the quickest.
