Wait 10 years from the date of the bankruptcy filing (some bankruptcy courts have ruled that the time is from the date of discharge, usually less than 6 months from the date of filing). If the bankruptcy has not been removed from a credit report, go to the credit reporting bureau website and complete the form asking for the error (not removing the bankruptcy listing) to be corrected.
If that doesn't work, either get a lawyer or send the bureau a certified letter, return receipt requested, asking them to remove it. You may want to send the same letter by ordinary mail, just in case they refuse to accept the certified letter.
