Improving your credit score and establishing good credit after Bankruptcy can be done. It presents the old chicken and egg issue because in order to build credit, you have to get credit. Some lenders may not be willing to give you credit after you have filed for bankruptcy, others will. You can begin establishing credit by opening a line of credit by getting a car loan. Car loans are less risky for lenders because they are secured. You can also get a secured credit card from a bank. A secured credit card is when you deposit a certain amount of money in an account and the bank will give you a line of credit for the amount that is on deposit. Be sure that the places you get credit will be reporting your payments to credit reporting agencies or a good payment history will not boost your credit score.
