Many people avoid bankruptcy because they have heard the stories of how bankruptcy stays on your credit report for 7-10 years. They believe that this will ruin any chances of ever having a good credit score. Untrue. In fact when you file bankruptcy and receive your immediate debt relief you begin to rebuild your credit. There are more factors involved in your FICO or credit score than just bankruptcy or repossession. If your debt has spiraled out of control, a fresh start may be exactly what you need.
