If you have ever been bankrupt you will know how difficult it is to even try to get another credit card, car loan, or a mortgage on a home. This did hold true in earlier generations but it is perpetuated now through incorrect and incomplete information that is threatened by ruthless collections agencies. The truth is, even people with terrible credit or recently discharged bankruptcies can still get a credit card, personal loan, or a mortgage for a house.
The key to achieving your own financial targets as a person with poor credit is in understanding that though the credit doors are not closed forever to you, you will simply be going through a different set of doors than those that have good credit. Your experience in getting a bad credit loan will be determined by your previous credit problems. Some of your history will affect all borrowers with bad credit, but depending on your specific situation will vary in significance.
It is not always easy to recover from bad credit problems, so look first at getting a secured credit card or secured loan. If you have a vehicle that is completely paid for or some other asset that is worth money you can use this to get a secured loan or credit card. Banks will see this as less of a risk when you secure an asset against a loan, as they will have collateral against you in the event of default. This is a great way to overcome the problems that arise after poor credit problems.
