If by then, the consumer has establised a good payment history it may. Bankruptcy is forever. Regardless of the removal from a CR, there will always be record of it, and it can continue to cause a consumer financial problems.
The previous answer is actually quite misleading. In terms of credit and credit reporting, the bankruptcy coming off will immediately improve your score, usually in the neighborhood of 75-150 points. Of course a lot entails what you did with your credit since the bankruptcy was discharged. As far as "bankruptcy being forever," yes, there is a public record out there. And yes, it could hurt you in terms of gaining employment at a high salary or taking out a high-end mortgage on a house. In terms of car loans, credit cards, low-end house mortgages, etc., the bankruptcy will have absolutely no bearing on your situation. Good luck.

Do things that will improve your credit score. Pay off your credit cards as much as you can, contributing most to the one with the highest interest rate. If you have declared bankruptcy in the past, you should wait until after 10 years before the bankruptcy is no longer listed on your credit report.

What is more credit damaging Bankruptcy or settling a credit card debt?
Bankruptcy would be more credit damaging than just having large credit card debt, mainly because it stays on your credit report for longer.

With credit card debt there are more flexible options and obviously when you pay the debt and does not stay on your report for as long.
