My question involves bankruptcy in the state of: Georgia
My chapter 7 bankruptcy was discharged on 5/18/11. In September 2011 I was issued an unsecured credit card which is in good standing and I will use towards my rebuild process. My only debt is school loans which have been deferred because of hardship and also because I am a current student. I have not incurred any new debt this year.
My first question is with a current credit score of 583 what other steps can I take to increase my score? I would like to think of buying a home in at least two years.
Also, after bankruptcy, how long are the discharged accounts allowed to remain on my credit report?
