Being eligible does not mean that you qualify. Understand the fact that VA Loans have more relaxed credit standards. Credit history will be a factor for this loan requirement too. You should have a credible credit history for the past year i.e. 12 months and also remember that credit history does not mean your credit score. The lender checks this to make sure that you are capable of making timely payments.
You will not be automatically debarred if you have filed for bankruptcy in the last 2 years. Your bankruptcy should be discharged and the reason for such a doing should be beyond your control, such as unemployment or medical reasons.
