Filing for chapter 13 bankruptcy will damage your credit for seven years (unless removed), lowering your score up to 240 points.
There are 5 primary steps for rebuilding credit during chapter 13:
- Open two credit builder cards (payment history is 35% of your score)
- Open one credit builder loan (credit mix is 10% of your score)
- Find a friend or family member to add you to their old credit card(s)
- Find a friend or family member willing to co-sign for a home, apartment, or car
- Dispute the accounts for validity and accuracy
