Also, find out if the lender has a minimum income requirement or a debt-to-income ratio you need to meet. If they do, make sure you meet their minimum requirements before you apply for a loan.
- Time:
"Time heals all wounds," as the saying goes. This can be true when it comes to getting a personal loan after bankruptcy if you've built up a good payment history since your bankruptcy.
Your credit report will be a big part of a lender's decision about whether or not to give you a personal loan after bankruptcy. In general, it will help if your credit report shows that you have been making payments on time for at least two years after your bankruptcy.
We've looked at the four main things that will determine if you can get a personal loan after bankruptcy: your credit score, collateral, the amount of debt you already have, and time. To the extent that you can improve each of these, your chances of getting a personal loan after bankruptcy will go up.
Even if you can't get a personal loan right away after filing for bankruptcy, don't give up! When it comes to getting a personal loan after bankruptcy, keep in mind that time can heal all wounds. Just make sure to work on improving your credit score, paying your bills on time, not taking on too much debt, and building your net worth.
