Some people avoid bankruptcy out of a misplaced worry that it will ruin their credit rating and ability to borrow in the future. The surprising reality is that filing for bankruptcy usually improves a person’s credit. Most people can qualify for consumer loans within a year or two.
Bankruptcy is no cakewalk, but it is an opportunity to get true debt relief, to get back on your financial feet and to restore good credit. The law firm of Stamps & Stamps, Attorneys at Law, can help you explore your debt relief solutions and separate fact from fiction so that you can make an informed decision.

When you file for bankruptcy, it is true that your credit score will dip initially. However, your credit score is probably poor already if you have a high debt-to-income ratio, especially if you are in default on loans or late paying your bills.
Our lead bankruptcy lawyer, Eric Stamps, pulls your credit report from the three main credit reporting agencies and compares your current scores with your projected score 12 months after filing for bankruptcy. For most of our clients, the projected credit score is 50 to 150 points higher than their current score. The simple math is that lenders and credit card companies see a better credit risk without all that debt weighing you down.
