Cannot get a loan after filing bankruptcy, why?
March 19th, 2009 by Questions
WAS RELEASED FROM MY SECOND BANKRUPTCY IN DECEMBER OF 1996 AS I UNDERSTAND IT STAYS ON MY RECORD FOR 14 YEARS. YET I GOT A MORTGAGE FOR 64000 DOLLARS IN 2002 AND PAID IT OFF IN 5 YEARS AND STILL TO THIS DAY I CAN NOT GET A LOAN FOR A CAR OR A CREDIT CARD ETC ETC WHY IS THAT. EXCEPT FOR THE MORTGAGE I HAVE NEVER ATTEMPTED TO BORROW OR FINANCE ANYTHING AND CAN THE BANKRUPTCY BE REMOVED FOR MY FILE ANY EARLIER TKS
