OP, if you had extenuating circumstances, explain as @nc_mtg_loaner suggested. A few examples, but of course, only if they apply and are truthful. 

 

After being laid off from Sears on June 18, 2017 after 25 years of employment, it was difficult to find employment and I fell behind in my financial obligations. I had no other choice but to file bankruptcy. I am now employed. 

 

I was in an auto crash on June 18, 2017 and was unable to return to work due to serious injuries. So in addition to losing my job, I also lost my medical insurance. I was forced to file for bankruptcy because I could no longer fulfill my financial obligations. 

 

Something like this should suffice. If the lender needs additional info, he/she will ask for it.
