It means that you need to declare if you have ever been bankrupt. So if you have never been bankrupt you can say YES. However, if you have been bankrupt you need to say NO.

How many years do you remain blacklisted?

We will assume this questionis regarding filing Bankruptcy. You are never blacklisted during bankruptcy. It will remain on your credit report maximum of 10 years. That does not mean you will not be able to reestablish credit after filing bankruptcy during those years. What you will be able to obtain will depend on your payment history after the bankruptcy, the type of credit applied for and the length of time since you filed.

No, a house is considered a secured loan. When you apply for credit it will be either a secured or an unsecured loan.


You are a bankrupt charged by a bank but I have recently paid up all the debts How do you clear my name from the blacklist from bank negara?

Blacklist? You mean Credit Report we assume. Once bankruptcy has been reported to the credit bureaus, your credit rating is seriously affected, and that bad rating might stick on that report for anywhere between 7 to 15 years. Even though you have settled the entire debt (after the bankruptcy), you are still an "at risk" borrower based on prior history of not paying on time or not paying at all for whatever reason.

How long does it take to rebuild credit after bankruptcy?

Most people are shocked to find they actually will start receiving offers for new credit once they file a bankruptcy case. Offers for secured and unsecured credit cards, car loans etc. You hear evidence of this everyday, just listen to the radio. Car advertisers or dealers saying, good credit, bad credit, Bankruptcy okay..... They mean it ,just don't expect to go in and command the best rates. Rebuilding is tough, make sure you make all payments on time no matter how small the debt.


If you make voluntary payments on a car loan that was discharged in a bankruptcy can they still report it as a repossession on your credit report even though the debt is not legally owed?

My guess is that they probably can still list a repo on your credit report. Normally you get a double-hit on your credit report when you surrender property in bankruptcy: you get hit with the bankruptcy (which knocks your credit score down by 75 to 150 points) and you get hit with a repo/foreclosure for the surrendered property. Just because a debt is discharged in bankruptcy doesn't mean that it won't be listed on your credit report, it simply means the debt is no longer collectable. The credit report will continue to show the debt on your credit report and should list it as "discharged in bankruptcy." Similarly, if a person surrenders a home in bankruptcy, the foreclosure still goes on their credit, and if a person surrenders a car in their bankruptcy, it still shows up as a repo on the credit report. So, my guess is that a repossessed car, even one for which the debt was wiped out in bankruptcy and one that was not repossessed for some time after bankruptcy since voluntary payments were made for awhile, will still show on the credit report as a repo when it is ultimately repossessed. I can't say this is a definitive answer, but this is how I think the process works. Please note that nothing in this posting or in any other posting constitutes legal advice; this is simply my understanding of the facts, which I do not warrant, and I am not suggesting any course of action or inaction to any person.
