I am 43 had 3 husbands and they ruined me and my credit. I don’t have 7 yrs to wait for it to be cleared and I don’t want bankruptcy…can I change my name and ss# and get a Clean Credit Report. Desperate to live again!!

There is not a way to change a social security number just in order to clear your credit. Yes, bankruotcy is an option. It will stay on your credit for seven years but (there are always buts in life) there are different chapters of bankruotcy. Chapter 13 is basically a debt consolidation. You and your creditors agree on a plan to pay back debt and that can be anywhaere from 3 to seven years before its dicharged and you can reestablish credit. There is also Chapter 7, this basically wipes out EVERYTHING and is discharged in 3 to 6 months allowing you to reestablish your credit sooner. It is pretty easy once the bankruptcy is discharged to reestablish yourself.
