Best Answer

Individuals may not submit changes to a credit bureau, however, any business entity (INCLUDING sole proprietorships, which may only be one person) that is a member of the credit bureau may report tradeline information.

It doesn't erase anything on your own credit report....just adds to it, why would it change someone elses? It adds that you are a bankrupt as well as having missed payments and had a repossession. A credit report simply reports what happened in the past....what ever you do now does not change it...you live with the history you created.
