Credit Report Effects
Bankruptcy stays on your credit report for 7-10 years after filing your case. Bankruptcy may make it difficult for a borrower to obtain a mortgage or vehicle loan. A borrower may obtain credit but with less favorable terms.
Credit reports are used by lenders to determine whether to lend money to a borrower and under what terms. Lenders may also consider a borrower’s debt to income ratio, length of credit history, payment history, and number of credit applications.
