We are filing chapter 7 (credit cards and medical) and are keeping our home. We have lived here twenty years and have never missed a payment. We financed a new van in 1999 and made all 60 payments on time. Will our mortgage help our credit score over time as we do not want to have even one credit card?

Are you reaffirming the debt/home loan? If not, then it most likely WON'T be reported to the credit agencies.May 2008 Hired 1st Attorney/Stopped paying CCs

If you don't plan on having credit cards again, then don't worry about your credit score.
You have your home, keep paying on it until it is paid off.
Really the credit score is suppose to be a measure of how well you pay back borrowed funds and if you are paying cash for everything (and already have your mortgage) that score is meaningless to you.(And in the big picture is meaningless anyway because it does not measure what it purports to measure, but that's another discussion!) Congratulations, you are ahead of the system!Filed CH 7 9/30/2008
