Automobile refinance post CH7?

Who did you refinance with besides Cap1 after BK? What rate did you get? Was wondering if anyone has found an auto re finance company that is BK friendly?

Things like your current scores, current TL's and some history would be beneficial to the people trying to help as well Smiley Happy

2 months discharged is most likely too soon for refinancing to be a viable option.

 

Sit tight . .don't open ANY more accounts for 6-12 months, practice AZEO, and then revisit.

I would echo this advice honestly. To a lender your agressive rebuild looks like you are seeking credit right after a BK. Sit tight Smiley Happy

That is  A LOT of new credit so soon after BK.   As others said, don't do anything for a while.

 

Maybe join a local CU, build a relationship with them,  and get an auto loan through them in 12 months, maybe less.

Re: refinance post CH7?

I did join 2 credit unions to build a strong relationship. I took the secured loans with them to establish payment history. I have been aggressive with the credit cards early to start aging right away. I figured if I get them all early then I would get the 3 credit and 1 installment loan out of the way. I will take everyones advise and sit back and let time pass.
