Best Answer

If the bankruptcy is legitimate and being reported correctly, it will be reported on your credit for 10 years. There's really nothing you can do to change that. * In addition to the time limit noted for a bankrkuptcy to remain on a credit report, the court will not issue such documentation nor become involved in such matters.

Does a bankruptcy have to filed with the courts in the county where you live?

It is a FEDERAL law (and is handled by a FEDERAL court), basically under the same rules everywhere. (Some Courts allow special definitions for things in the case, basically to conform to the custom of the area they generally hear cases in). You file in a Federal District Court, which may or may not have any relationship to your County or even State.
