    purchasing house after car & bk

    I understand applying for credit can lower your FICO scores drastically. I am a year & a half post bk. Median score is stuck on 577. I purchased a new car last month and have paid my first car note. How soon should I request my credit score? I am anxious to see how low my score dropped and if it has been raised any with the on time payment recently. I am seeking again to purchase a home in January and would like my scores to be on point for low financing.

    Give it at least another on time payment, then check your credit afterwards. It can sometimes take up to 60 days for credit reports to be updated.
