How good can my scores get?

Posted on: 06th Nov, 2012 10:55 pm
How good can I expect my credit score to get as long as I have chapter 7 on my report? I filed on 2009.
Hi Silver,

Immediately after a chapter 7 filing and discharge, you will see a huge drop in your credit scores. Your scores will drop by around 200 points. But with time, if you take steps, the scores will start improving. This is irrespective of the fact whether or not the Chapter 7 is mentioned in your credit report.

Take care

chapter 7 bankruptcy hurts your credit score badly. your score gets reduced by around 200 points. in order to improve your score, you can take out secured credit cards and start making payments on time. this will certainly boost your score.
