Very little.
Credit bureaus, really only being research libraries of information, much of which is available other places but gathered in one spot for members, really have little or no involvement with bankruptcy Actually, other than producing a proprietary service they sell called a credit score, they have very little interest in credit matters. They don't really extend any.
