The Bankruptcy process gives you the chance to reestablish your financial security. Receiving a discharge is the final step and means you are released from all obligations to repay all debts in your Bankruptcy filing. You can then start to rebuild your credit score. A record of your Bankruptcy will remain on your credit report for 6 years after your discharge for a first time Bankruptcy. You will have the ability to begin rebuilding your credit score even before your discharge.
