It does not matter what state you filed your Chapter 13 Bankruptcy, as it was done in Federal Court, and these types of events stay on your credit for 10 years.
Bankruptcies are a matter of public record and this is why they appear in credit histories. A Chapter 13 listing will remain on your credit report for seven years from the filing date and a Chapter 7 will remain on the credit report for 10 years from the filing date. The credit report entry will state the bankruptcy was filed and dismissed, not discharged.
In California, I believe the credit bureaus leave that information in your credit files for ten (10) years. Repos. & Chapter 13's are for seven (7) years. But it varies from state to state.AnswerDon't get confuse! Your credit w'll be affected for 10 years.
Bankruptcy information (and other legal actions like judgments) may stay on a credit report for up to ten years after the fact. If your credit report still reflects a bankruptcy after ten years, create a dispute/update request with the associated credit reporting company and include proof that the bankruptcy is older than ten years old (the state record of the original date of bankruptcy action is typically all of the proof one needs). Negative items (including home loans that may have been forgiven) may stay on your credit report for up to seven years after the occurrence, regardless of bankruptcy status. Similar to the process above, if there is negative information on your credit report after seven years, one can request an update/modification of the credit report by providing appropriate proof.
A CHAPTER 7 BANKRUPTCY TAKES 10 YEARS BEFORE THIS IS REMOVED OFF OF YOUR CREDIT REPORT. THE GOOD NEWS THIS DOES NOT AFFECT YOUR CREDIT ANY LONGER! *********************I filed Chapter 7 in 2003 and depending on what your state court's definition of "dismissed" is it CAN affect your credit. For instance, some courts definition of "dismissed" is the same as "discharged." In Ohio it is "discharged" and I no longer owe any debt, however it DID IN FACT AFFECT MY CREDIT. I can NO LONGER get any. I received denial letters stating the reason for being denied, "Bankruptcy." So do your homework according to your state.

Bankruptcy will always be on your credit scoring record.

No one ever plans to file for bankruptcy, but if you ever find yourself in a financial bind, filing for bankruptcy to remove most of your debts may be the only alternative you have to start over again and reclaim your life. By filing for bankruptcy, you can protect yourself from creditors that may try to repossess your property and who often make harassing calls to your home. In the United States, individuals that need to declare bankruptcy can file for either chapter 7 or chapter 13 bankruptcy protection. Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection is the typical bankruptcy that everyone thinks of when they hear the word. In chapter 7 bankruptcy, the courts will try to liquidate your assets in order to pay off your creditors. Once all your assets have been sold off, the rest of your debts will be discharged by the bankruptcy court. Chapter 13 bankruptcy is slightly different. Chapter 13 bankruptcy is often called a working man's bankruptcy and is intended for people that have jobs. In chapter 13 bankruptcy, your bills become reorganized and consolidated. You will then have to work out a payment plan for the courts. Once the court has approved your plan, you have a certain amount of time to pay off your debt according to the plan. Should you fail to adhere to the plan, your bankruptcy protection will be nullified, opening you up once again to creditors. In order to qualify for chapter 7 bankruptcy protection, you need to pass what the government calls a means test. In order to pass the means test and meet the qualifications for chapter 7 bankruptcy, you need to earn less than the median income of the state in which you reside. If you earn more than $167 over the median income of the state you do not qualify for chapter 7 bankruptcy. Many people want to qualify for chapter 7 because it discharges most of their debts instead of making them repay it later as in chapter 13. Chapter 7 and chapter 13 bankruptcies can eliminate most debts, but some debts can almost never be discharged by bankruptcy courts. This includes student loan debts, lawsuit awards, spouse and child support, and most taxes. Also before filing for bankruptcy it is important to know how a filing can affect the rest of your life. For one thing, chapter 7 stays on your credit report for up to 10 years. Chapter 13 bankruptcy will remain on your credit report for 7 years. Having a bankruptcy on your credit report will make it difficult to obtain loans, get credit cards, find housing, or even gaining employment.
