Cool secured credit cards
During the economic collapse of 2008 and 2009, many people suddenly found themselves without incomes through no fault of their own. As a result, they were unable to make monthly payments on their mortgages, loans, and credit cards. As a result, the number of people filing for bankruptcy protection rose. People who had the power to purchase almost anything they wanted just a few months before were powerless to do anything but sit back and watch their good credit rating slip away. Historically, one of the repercussions of bankruptcy has been that the debtor would be unable to obtain credit for at least seven years after filing for protection, rendering major purchases such as applicances and cars impossible.
