Despite the stigma and possible embarrassment of filing for bankruptcy, many people have mitigating circumstances that make it their only option to avoid repeated court proceedings against them. Additionally, there are some financial companies that have no trouble offering to issue a person a credit card after bankruptcy, usually with a higher interest rate and annual fees attached.

One the reasons companies will offer a credit card after bankruptcy is the fact that a person cannot file for bankruptcy for at least seven years after the initial action has been discharged. Knowing this, these credit card companies have a legal recourse in collecting on any unpaid debt resulting from the card’s use. While most debt charged on a credit card is considered unsecured, if the cardholder cannot file bankruptcy, the company can use wage attachment to gain repayment.
