What is Chapter 7 bankruptcy?
When you file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy all collection efforts by creditors must stop. What this means is that all liens on your paycheck, foreclosures and repossessions must end.
How soon afterwards can I buy a car?
Typically 1-2 years. Used and new car dealers are very agreeable to extend credit to people who have a discharged Chapter 7 bankruptcy. They do so because the applicant now has no debt and is able to make timely payments. The key is to keep your credit clear and make payments on time.
