ABSTRACT

If the credit cards, loans, mortgage, and so forth were in his name, you may be in the position of establishing your own credit starting from scratch. In today’s economic environment, good credit is important for everything from obtaining a credit card to financing a car to buying a home someday. For most financial institutions, no credit history is the same as a bad one. Again, you can begin slowly to reestablish credit in your name. Lawyers and financial professionals who donate time and information to survivors of abuse are excellent resources for you in this regard. But you can take some steps on your own.
