- How To Resuscitate Your Credit After Filing For Bankruptcy

- 4 years ago
- Description
- Sometimes, personal debt becomes so unmanageable that filing for bankruptcy can bring real relief.
Going bankrupt can keep you from losing your home, your car, having your paycheck garnished, or having your utilities shut off.
But according to Business Insider, bankruptcy is no walk in the park and has long-lasting consequences on your credit record.
With Chapter 7 bankruptcy, all eligible debts are discharged immediately. It will stay on your credit report for up to ten years.
In Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you agree to a three- to five-year repayment plan to partially or fully repay your debts.
It can stay on your credit report for up to seven years. In either case, you will need to hire an attorney, which can be expensive.
To rebuild credit, keep making on-time payments towards any debts not included in the bankruptcy. Also, consider getting a secured credit card.

- Description
- The Netherlands’ National Institute for Health has published its findings on the role young children play in spreading the novel coronavirus COVID-19.
According to Reuters, the study concluded that children under the age of 12 play little role in transmitting the disease.
Studies in other countries have previously found that children are less often infected by the virus and, once infected, less often become seriously ill.
Yes, children can become infected, but transmission takes place primarily between adults of similar age, and from adults to children. The Netherlands' National Institute for Health
However, a possible weakness in the study is that the 54 families studied may not have been representative of the wider Dutch population.

In the study, women who have had babies via C-sections were educated about having future children vaginally.
The research evaluated the effectiveness of an app that acted as a "decision tool" on a handheld tablet.
According to UPI, the app promotes the safety of vaginal birth after cesarean, or VBAC.
Approximately 43% of women who used the tool chose VBAC, which is slightly less than those who didn't use the tool.
32% of all births in the U.S. in 2018 were C-sections, up from 21% in 1996.
Women who have C-sections are at increased risk of infection and other complications.

However, if you use your face or finger to unlock your phone, you are not protected from unlocking it.
You can trigger a call to emergency services via pressing the lock and volume buttons five times.
You may want to consider turning on your phone’s airplane mode to help hide your digital footprint.
Airplane mode works but comes with the downside of your phone not being readily usable.
It is important to back up your phone before you go to the protest as well, says Gizmodo.
Finally, make sure your device is charged up and has lots of available storage.
