Interestingly enough your credit will improve within a year after filing bankruptcy under Chapter7. Your debt to income ratio is where creditors like to see it and you have no debt. And you can't file another Chapter 7 for 8 years. I have had many clients inform me of numerous offers for credit right after their discharge.

By the time most people are calling me for bankruptcy, their credit is so bad, that it will actually make it better. The reason is that your credit is already toast but you also still owe the money. So, if you have bad credit but you don't owe the money, then your credit must in fact be better than if you still owed the money.
That is in fact how it works.

Although the bankruptcy will be noted on your credit report, it is not the end of the world. Once your bankruptcy is discharged, you can typically get credit cards again, buy automobiles, and over time, obtain a home loan. Bankruptcy wipes your financial slate clean and provides you with a new start. Many people begin rebuilding their credit immediately after discharge.

A bankruptcy will affect your credit. The issue is how bad it is now. If you have bad credit, it might not get much worse. If you have excellent credit, then it will definitely have a bad effect on it.
