4 years post bk7

So august 2022 is officially 4 years post bk 7 filed. Discharge date is officially dec 2022 so that will clear the exact 4 year mark

 

I originally started the rebuild mission lane $500 SL + annual fee 49$ Il take it for rebuild only scores around 590- 600. 

3 months later applied cap 1 $2500 SL

 

6 months after discover only 6k

 

fast forward to aug 2022. And boom

 

NFCU cash reward $37,000

NfCU platinum $33,000

Discover $14,500

chase freedom ul $17,500

cap 1 $3,000 

infiniti lease total 22,600 pos $200 more per month to rebuild credit. SMH.


CL $105,000

leased a 2020 infinit

 

Scores are 710 exp 714 tu and 724 eq

 

if you play the credit game correctly based on these forums you will rebuild. The light is at the other side of the tunnel. You must work diligently towards rebuild and learn from past mistakes. 

my next goal is a conventional mortgage which I will be applying for come December 2022 or anytime after when I find the home I want.

Re: 4 years post bk7

Thanks i remember you telling me back in 2020 i wouldnt see the 700s till at least the 3rd year. whats crazy is how fast the time goes. By the 3rd year i was around 700 ex 705 and about 710. Now when i do azeo i sit over 720. I want to get the amex but i heard you have to wait till the bk7 is off the report. im going to open an llc build the credit on the ein and possibly app for the amex platinum buisness.

Re: 4 years post bk7

I did not burn Amex. Never had them before. I will apply for them in feb 2024

 

2023 will be the year of the mortgage. 4 years post bk discharge dec 2022 so I can qualify for conventional mortgages.
