Elyria, Ohio Bankruptcy Attorneys

 

Here are some tips from the Elyria bankruptcy attorneys at Jacoby Meyers Bankruptcy Law on how to reestablish your credit after filing bankruptcy:

 

* Open a checking or savings account.

* Apply for and use store and gasoline credit cards where you would normally pay cash. 

* Pay your utility bills and rent on time for a minimum of one year. 

* Apply for a secured card where you deposit cash and charge against it. Pay advances back over two months so that they will be reflected as positive marks on your credit report.

* Avoid payday loans that are at high interest rates and are a "bad credit" trap. 

* Find a friend or relative to cosign for you on a loan and pay it on time. 

* Live within your means. Do not unnecessarily increase your debt to income ratio by taking on credit to purchase luxury items that you do not need.
