How to remove a bankruptcy from credit report?

The bankruptcy will remain on the credit report until the required ten years has expired. UPDATE: Actually, you can force Equifax, Experian and TransUnion to remove a Bankruptcy from your credit report and you can do it legally using a federal law that is in place. Credit Bureaus MUST have "verifiable proof" of the "bankruptcy" in their files if they are going to report the negative item on your report. The dirty little secret the credit bureaus don't want you to know is that they do not have any "verifiable proof" in their files for any of the negative items on your credit report. The Federal Court that the bankruptcy was filed in may have this information on file but the credit bureaus don't. If you request the credit bureau to provide you with the "verifiable proof" that they have in their files they will remove the negative from your file.

It is not possible to answer this question without knowing the details of those items. If you remove 6 negative items, the score will increase. If you remove 6 negative items and have no positive items, your score may increase but you may then essentially have no credit instead of bad credit, which places you in the same difficult position when it comes to borrowing. The amount your score will increase depends on your overall credit profile and the type of items being removed.
