We will assume this questionis regarding filing Bankruptcy. You are never blacklisted during bankruptcy. It will remain on your credit report maximum of 10 years. That does not mean you will not be able to reestablish credit after filing bankruptcy during those years. What you will be able to obtain will depend on your payment history after the bankruptcy, the type of credit applied for and the length of time since you filed.

If it has been ten years since my bankruptcy filing must I reveal that I have filed for bankruptcy in the past if asked for credit purposes?

It is never a good idea to lie on a credit application, so if it asks if you ever filed bankruptcy, you can't say "No" just because the 10 years expired. However, most credit apps say "Have you filed bankruptcy in the past 10 years," in which case you could answer "no" since it has been over 10 years since you filed. And, even if it does ask if you have ever filed and you say "yes," it is unlikely that a bankruptcy from over 10 years ago will have much if any effect on your ability to get the loan. Every mortgage lender I've asked has said that after two years from the filing date of a bankruptcy, the bankruptcy is no concern. Please note that nothing in this posting or in any other posting constitutes legal advice; this is simply my understanding of the facts and law, which I do not warrant, and I am not suggesting any course of action or inaction to any person. Speak to a lawyer for specific advice. If you have any questions, please refer to a lawyer in your jurisdiction. Thanks!

My ex-husband of 8 years filed bankruptcy on a home that I signed a quit claim on but my name is still on the mortgage as a co-debtor will this show as a bankruptcy on my credit report as well?

No the bankruptcy will not show on your credit history unless you filed as well. However, now the mortgage company has the right to come after you in full for the amount owed, since the Court has released him from all obligations.
