This is not a straight yes or no answer. Somethings such as bankruptcy can say on a record as long as ten years. Many things will be off your record after 7 years but not everything.

How do you remove a home loan from you credit report after bankruptcy it was listed on Bankruptcy.?

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.
