This depends on the type of loan you are referring to and the lender.

Mortgage lenders typically want a person to have 12 months clear credit history after a bankruptcy has been Discharged (not filed). Automobile and credit card lenders like the same, but there may be exceptions. The best thing is to ask, without allowing your credit to be pulled.

The only thing I would add to the other posting is..Beware of predatory lenders. The type who have ads that read "bankruptcy, bad credit, no problem", or something of that nature. IMO, they are loan sharks, and you need to be extremely cautious.

CAN I QUALIFAY FOR A HOUSE LOAN IF I HAD CHAPTER 13?

Yes it is possible to qualify for a mortgage despite a Chapter 13 bankruptcy filing. In a Chapter 13 filing the debtor agrees to a court structured debt repayment schedule. Typically, after making payments on time to creditors as required by the bankruptcy agreement an individual can be discharged by the Court from the Chapter 13 proceeding. Once discharged from bankruptcy an individual can apply for a mortgage. Each bank has different rules about how soon someone can apply for a mortgage after a bankruptcy. Most people coming out of bankruptcy apply for an FHA mortgage loan since this program has the most lenient underwriting standards.
