One of the best ways to improve your credit after filing bankruptcy is to get a car loan and make your payments on time. A paid-as-agreed auto loan after bankruptcy will raise your low credit score and get you back into the credit world. If you are currently in the middle of a bankruptcy or recently discharged, it doesn't mean you can't get auto financing. If you meet the minimum requirements, don't wait any longer. Waiting will not help you rebuild your credit!


Improve Credit Score
The credit scores of consumers who received a subprime auto loan increased over the three-year period with a median improvement of 52 points. This is a 62.5% improvement over the group that did not take out an auto loan, who only improved by 32 points. Even more telling, those that took out an auto loan were four times more likely to have improved their score above 640 compared to the consumers who did not take out a loan.
