There are a number of steps that you can take, after filing for bankruptcy, in order to rebuild your good credit and help ensure that this does not happen again:

• If you do not already have a job, go out and get one. Work to maintain your job.
• Pay your bills as they are due. Take care not to take on any expenses that you cannot easily afford.
• Open and maintain a bank account, and keep money in it at all times. Maintaining a steady bank balance will help your ability to grow your credit.
• Begin to rebuild your credit. You may need to obtain a credit card to start. By getting a low-limit card and being responsible when using it, you can begin to rebuild your credit by paying off your card as soon as possible.
• Set aside money to cover any emergencies, learn not to rely solely on credit for life's emergencies.  Have a plan!
