It carries with it some long term negative consequences. Perhaps most damaging of all, a bankruptcy negatively affects a persons credit score for up to ten years. That makes it harder to borrow money in the future and causes higher interest rates on borrowed money. In short, bankruptcy makes a persons financial life much harder for a number of years. If youve filed for bankruptcy, theres nothing you can do about the bankruptcy remaining on your credit score for a number of years, but there is much you can do to ensure a faster financial recovery and a more stable financial life in the future. > > Ask what led to bankruptcy > > When you file for bankruptcy, you will be required to undergo credit counseling. While you might feel like you dont need it, it can be a great opportunity to see some factors that may have led to bankruptcy. Contrary to popular belief, the main cause of bankruptcy isnt reckless spending but unforeseen financial hardships such as medical bills. Whatever was the cause of your bankruptcy, find it and learn from it. If it is reckless spending, learn to better manage your money. If it was circumstances outside your control, then make sure to do a better job in the future at having an emergency fund. > > Rebuild credit > > A good place to start after bankruptcy is a secured credit card. In reality it is more like a debit card in that you have to put up the money first as collateral. But with a secured credit card credit bureaus have to record your responsible use of the card. Any good use of credit is going to help you recover after bankruptcy. > > Pay on time > > When you pay your bills can have a huge effect on your credit score. Get in the habit of always paying your bills on time. Dont get in the habit of only making minimum payments either. Pay off your debts in full each month. > > Watch out for credit repair scams > > Often times after bankruptcy, credit repair companies will start contacting you. Many of these are not reputable at all. They will, for a fee, promise to help fix your credit score by giving you a new credit profile number. Sometimes this new number is actually stolen from somebody else. It is best to avoid these companies altogether and focus on improving your own financial situation by practicing responsible spending habits. > > Business, real estate, and bankruptcy law and litigation news brought to you by > Source: > > > > > Read this topic online here: > > http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=410471#410471 > > > > > > > > > > ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 06:45:34 AM PST US Subject: Lightning-List: Re: Getting back on your feet after bankruptcy From: "Bill Strahan" I'm sure it's just because I was thinking to myself that this is a "bot" that I looked at the name and realized "jennatalbot" could be pronounced "genital bot" No one would do this type of marketing if it was never successful.

Thus we simulated a load of 3.8g@720kg or 1586lbs GW The designed max GW of D-EGFL (which will be her registration) is 700kg (1542lbs). If need be I can increase the MGW without a new test. The pic shows the golden moment when the forklifts were lowered and the whole weight sat on the unsupported wings. You can see the wing bending! We made the test in a construction materials warehouse, the same place where I tested D-ELIY`s wings, so we had bags to spare ! At some in the future the then completely assembled D-EGFL ( read : Gerd`s Flash!) will have to undergo further load tests of elevator, engine mount , landing gear and fuselage ( we do this in one go!) and vertical stab. A static thrust measurement is also mandatory. I look forward to this one: I think the ULPower 390iS and the GT constant speed prop will give me some realy good pull!
