How can you get a bankruptcy removed if it has been more than ten years since your bankruptcy was discharged and it is still showing on your credit report?

Outdated information about a bankruptcy needs to be disputed by the same process as any other error or mistake showing on your credit report.
Send your discharge page along with a letter of dispute, proof of your address and identification to the bureaus requesting that the information be removed, corrected or updated. Request a new and complete credit report as proof that the information has been fixed. Send your request by certified mail, return receipt requested, so that you can keep track of when the bureaus received your request. They have 30 days by law to respond.
The only thing I would add to the above is send a "COPY" not original of the BK discharge page. Never send original copies to the CRA's, they are not your friend and you may have headaches getting the originals back or getting additional official court copies.
