hunter | I claimed bankruptcy 10 years ago, can I get a personal loan? |
I haven't gotten a credit card either. When I go for the personal loan, do I still need to say Yes, I claimed bankruptcy? Even though it has been 10 years? |

Don't you wish Yahoo would find some way to kill all these spam answers? They are all over you today! lol
How about some useful info?
For starters.....when recovering from a bankruptcy you need to start immediately in rebuilding your credit. If you haven't done anything in 10 years, your credit is still gonna look terrible!
Go over to this site. Http://www.lifeafterbankrutpcy.com
This isn't spam...but this site does have stuff they are selling. but they also have a ton of free information, and newsletters. Their last 3-4 newsletters gave step-by-step info on rebuilding your credit after a bankruptcy.
Other past issues give info on how to properly go about seeking a loan.
No, you do not have to tell them you have a past bankruptcy. If you do, that will most likely kill your loan. Many loan officers are very narrow minded, and if they see a BK they will rubber stamp your application immediately. If they care about it, let them do the research to find out. Most will not look past your credit report, and the BK drops off that after 10 years.
At this point, if you have not established other credit, you need to be more concerned about not having a credit rating. The above site will give you a few ideas on quickly getting started.
You will most likely have to talk to the loan officer and explain your financial situation. Again, don't mention the BK, but point out that you have a good work history and your finances are good enough to support a loan. |

I claimed bankruptcy some years ago. I can't remember exactly. But it is still on my credit report. I believe for another 2 years. I just got a new car loan. But I had been doing things to rebuild my credit all these years. That probably makes a difference. I think it all depends on who looks at your application too. I applied for a store credit card and was denied. But the week before I was approved for $17,000 for my car. |

You first need to pull a copy of all of your credit reports. www.annualcreitreport.com and make sure that the bankrutcy was removed from your report, and that any account that it was filed on is removed. If anything is there dispute them so that they will be removed just say that it was over 10 years ago and they will remove it. Then you don't have to mention it because nothing is going to show up when they run your report for the loan. |

Always be truthful.
If you were no longer late paying your bills after the bankruptcy was discharged, you can get a loan. |
