One method to help build your credit rating after filing for Colorado personal bankruptcy is by obtaining a loan, such as a car loan. Once your personal bankruptcy case is closed, you can apply for a loan the next day. The following suggestions should help you get the best rates for your loan.
- Review Your Credit Report:
Check your credit report to make sure all of your accounts are in order before starting to apply for a loan. It is not uncommon after having filed for personal bankruptcy to see accounts that are still active even though they should be closed. Obviously, this will hurt your credit rating.
Consider adding a page to your credit report that will explain the situation that led you to filing personal bankruptcy. If there were extenuating circumstances, lenders may approve you for a better rate than under normal conditions.
- Plan Your Purchase:
Before proceeding with a purchase, decide what you can afford in a monthly loan payment. This will help you decide which financing package is best for you. Both the loan amount and length of payments will determine your monthly payments.
- Use A Loan Lender:
There are loan lenders who make their money by finding you a loan. The loan lenders work with several financing partners to back loans with all types of credit risk, including bankruptcies.
Online lenders deal with thousands of loans, and can usually find you a better deal than you might find locally. Online loan lenders will send you a check when you are approved.
- Explain Your Situation:
Many loan applications will ask if you have ever declared bankruptcy and why. This is your chance to explain what led up to the situation and the steps you have taken to resolve your credit situation. Be sure to include any improvements in your financial history also.
- Consider Refinancing:
Once you are approved for a loan, keep your eye on the possibility for refinancing in the future. If you make regular payments on all your bills, in a year’s time you could qualify for significantly lower interest rates. In three years, you can build your credit score to near excellent and qualify for even lower rates.
