Generally a bankruptcy filing (Chapter 7 or Chapter 13) reduces your credit score by around 75 to 150 points. There is no exact amount since how credit reporting agencies determine your credit score is a big industry secret, but a 75 to 150 point drop is what you can expect. So, this means you usually need to wait 12 to 15 months after filing bankruptcy to get a car loan and 2 years after filing to get a mortgage (though of course other factors affect this too, such as length of employment, income amount, debt-to-income ratio, post-bankruptcy credit acquisition, etc). 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!

Whether you are filing Chapter 13 or Chapter 7 bankruptcy, your credit score will be directly impacted for 7-10 years AFTER you exit protection.
If you convert a chapter 13 bankruptcy to a chapter 7 will this further affect your credit scores?
Yes converting a Chapter 13 to a 7 will further lower your credit score. It will show up on the public records section at the begining of the credit report. Once as an terminated chapter 13 and a second public record showing the filing of the Chapter 7. Each public record reduces your score. You can potentially be discharged from a Chapter 7 sooner and that's will be the time the clock will start ticking to eventually make it disappear from your credit report which I believe is 7 years for most derogatory entries

Can bankruptcy be taken off your credit report if the bankruptcy was dismissed through the courts?
Bankruptcies are a matter of public record and this is why they appear in credit histories. A Chapter 13 listing will remain on your credit report for seven years from the filing date and a Chapter 7 will remain on the credit report for 10 years from the filing date. The credit report entry will state the bankruptcy was filed and dismissed, not discharged.

7 years from discharge (not filing, but actual date of discharge) of a Chapter 7. Don't know about a 13.
