After filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy, make sure that you monitor your credit reports. That way you can check that your creditors have updated their reports to reflect any discharged debts.nnRebuilding credit after bankruptcy is not as big of a problem as you might think. You should be able to get a credit card, as most credit lending companies know they’re not facing a risk (since you can’t file for a Chapter 7 twice in eight years).nnA good idea is to get a secured credit card. This will allow you to rebuild credit but without the temptation that comes with an unsecured credit card. If you need a new car, great – a car loan can be very useful in rebuilding credit after bankruptcy.
