So the big question is this, how can we take our passion for helping people with their credit and turn it into a successful business without taking loans, without spending a fortune by bootstrapping it from nothing so we can help the most people and still become highly profitable? That is the question, and this podcast will give you the answer. My name is Daniel Rosen, and welcome to Credit Repair Business Secrets.

So be sure to click subscribe now and get ready to start changing lives. Okay, let's get into this. Bankruptcies are the single most damaging item that can appear on a credit report. They make it nearly impossible to get approved for loans. They can prevent you from getting jobs, and depending on the type of bankruptcy it is, they can stay on your credit report for seven to 10 years. But worst of all, most bankruptcies aren't even caused by bad financial habits. No, they're the result of one unexpected major life event. And considering 63% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, it's not hard to guess why these bankruptcies happen. In 2005, when personal bankruptcies spike to over 2 million cases, 46% listed medical-related expenses as the reason for filing.

Other reasons included job loss, reduced income, and divorce. Bankruptcy is a very stressful situation, and it's true that your finances will need to be rebuilt from scratch, but it can be done. And the first step to making a full recovery is removing the bankruptcy from your credit report. So how does this relate to us? Well, for anyone new to credit repair bankruptcy is a legal process that allows individuals or businesses to eliminate, restructure, and repay their debts under the protection of a court. There are two main types of personal bankruptcy, chapter seven and chapter 13. Chapter seven is considered a liquidation bankruptcy, which involves selling all of your non-exempt assets to repay your creditors. They stay on your credit report for up to 10 years after the filing date. Chapter 13 is a reorganization bankruptcy, which involves creating a repayment plan to settle debts over a three to five-year period, and they can stay on credit reports for up to seven years after the filing date.

According to FCO scoring models, the impact of a personal bankruptcy all depends on what your credit was like before you filed, and the higher your credit score was, the further it will fall with some high scores dropping over 200 points. Now, personal bankruptcies have steadily declined since 2005, but experts are now predicting that an increase is coming as a result of the pandemic court closures. P P P loans and other pandemic-related relief policies slowed the bankruptcy filings, but we should expect to see a lot more soon. Here's the thing to remember. Bankruptcies are filed with the courts, not with the credit bureaus. They are public records. Public records are different than most negative items that appear on credit reports because they are about court-related matters. The courts don't actually send public records to the credit bureaus. No, the credit bureaus buy the records from companies like Lexus Nexus, which collects the information from public record databases like pacer.

If this sounds like a strange system, you're right, it is. But you can actually use this strange system against itself to remove bankruptcies from credit reports. Here's why this is important. When the credit bureaus receive public records from Lexus Nexus, they often list the furniture of information as the recorder of deeds, the clerk of the courts, the magistrate, or the municipal court. They do not list the actual furniture. And this amounts to false reporting, which directly violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act and provides a perfect reason to dispute that bankruptcy. Here's what you need to know. As always, you start the credit repair process by disputing any incorrect information that appears on the credit report. Beyond that, there's one expert-level tactic for removing bankruptcies from credit reports. And I'm gonna break it down into six easy steps. Step number one, sign up for a pacer account.

Pacer is a public records database that anyone can access for free and companies like Lexus Nexus use it to gather our data. I added the pacer signup link over there to the show notes. Step two, contact Lexus Nexus and request a consumer disclosure report. Thanks to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, they're required to provide you with a copy for free, and I added the direct link to the report request site over there in the show notes. Step three, when you have the pacer account records and the Lexus Nexus Consumer disclosure Report, compare the information in both. Look for any inconsistencies and dispute them with Lexus Nexus just like you would with a credit bureau. They follow the very same rules. If you're able to remove the bankruptcy from the Lexus Nexus report, then your odds of removing it from the credit bureaus will increase dramatically.

Step four, dispute the bankruptcy with the credit bureaus and do this just as you would with any other item. If the bureau verifies the information, move on to the next step. Step five, send a simple letter addressed to the clerk of the court where you filed the bankruptcy. There's no need to get into details or specifics. Just say something simple like this. I have a record from your court appearing on my credit report. I've disputed the item with the credit bureaus, Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion, all of which confirmed that the record was verified by you. Please provide the procedure in which you verify records with the credit bureaus and send this letter to the clerk of the court with a self-addressed stamp envelope and your return address to make it very easy for them to respond. The clerk of the court will usually respond with a letter explaining what you already know.

They do not report to the credit bureaus, and now you're cooking with gas. Step six, make a copy of the letter you receive from the clerk of the court and send it to the credit bureaus along with a demand for deletion. It doesn't have to be written this exact same way, but it should be something along the lines of this I have previously disputed. And then insert the public record name and the reference number with you. And in response, you verify the item as accurate, stating that you have verified the information with the court. I contacted the court and their response is enclosed. It is clear. They do not report to you or any credit bureau for that matter. Therefore, your initial response verifying the item with the court was either an error or a lie. Either way, the reporting requirements do not comply with ffc R a 6 11 15 USC 1 16 8 1 I, and the information must be deleted immediately.

The credit bureaus know the law and they understand that they have a potential violation if they don't remove it. So they'll typically respond with a deletion. If the bankruptcy is deleted, you'll soon be able to qualify for loans and lines of credit without dealing with the predatory high-interest rates that keep people with bad credit stuck in the never-ending cycle of debt. If the credit bureaus refuse to delete the bankruptcy despite your valid reason for removal, then it's time to file a complaint with the CF p b because you're entitled to fair and accurate reporting.

Bankruptcy is the single most damaging item that can appear on a credit report, but that also means that removing them has the greatest positive impact on a person's life. Disputing bankruptcy may not be the fastest process, but success is a major step to financial recovery, so it's always worth the effort.
