The question that bothers many people after they have been declared bankrupt is whether anyone will ever trust them with their goods and services. It is possible to obtain credit after bankruptcy and gain the confidence of former as well as potential creditors by following a few simple steps. It may not be easy, but it is possible.

It begins by believing in your self and knowing that no situation is permanent no matter how bad it may look. It is true that bankruptcy robs you off your financial credibility, but remember that there is no situation that is permanent. Rebuilding your credit is determined by the small little things that you are going to do from now hence forth.

You can begin by making sure that you pay your bills on time without failure. No matter how small the amount seems, be sure to pay it on time and do not let it accumulate. Remember that this is probably how you ended up being bankrupt in the first place.

One simple way is to make your budget and stick to it through thick and thin. Operate on a cash basis and if possible, make it your policy to ‘pay cash today, for credit come tomorrow.’ If you must really get a credit card, make sure it is insured. This way, you will be out of trouble the next time you are unable to pay your debts. Better be safe than sorry. This way you can be assured of getting credit after bankruptcy.
