A lingering question you may have on your mind is “How will filing for bankruptcy affect my credit?” Chances are if you are looking to file for bankruptcy, you are most likely struggling to pay your creditors and may have already started falling behind on your payments. If this is the case your credit has already been affected.

There are 3 major credit reporting agencies in the United States; Experian, Trans Union and Equifax. These are the agencies that keep a detailed report of how you pay your creditors, what type of accounts you have open and what your available credit and balances on these accounts are.

Each agency computes a credit score based on the above factors. A Chapter 7 Bankruptcy will show all your debls as discharged while a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy may show you as making payments. All though each agency computes your score in a slightly different way, the contributing elements are essentially the same. A Bankruptcy will certainly have a negative effect on your credit with all 3 agencies: however as the old saying goes, sometimes you have to take one step backwards before you can take two steps forward. A Bankruptcy may have a negative effect on your credit in the short term but it will give you the much needed relief you need and it will put you on the path to re establishing your credit
