You are not eligible for a new line of credit for at least 7 years after filing a bankruptcy.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
The statement is false because the correct waiting period after filing for bankruptcy is not always 7 years. The waiting period can vary depending on the type of bankruptcy filed. For example, Chapter 7 bankruptcy stays on your credit report for 10 years, while Chapter 13 bankruptcy stays for 7 years. However, this does not mean that you are automatically ineligible for new credit during this entire period. It may be possible to obtain new credit before the waiting period is over, although it may come with higher interest rates or stricter terms.Rate this question:
