If the creditor has received a judgment the time is indefinite, as most judgments are from 5-20 years in duration and can be renewed. If a creditor perfects a judgment as a lien against real property, then the debt is considered permanent until paid or settled.

You do not have a right to credit.

No one has to ever grant it to you.

Their decision to do so is totally theirs.

How long or how much weight they give to anything is their choice.

A BK appears on your credit report for 10 years.

Logically, if your record during that time shows that you have gained the responsibility and ability to pay your debts, lenders (who make their living giving loans that are repaid according to the terms they agreed to), would like to have your business.

Can the bankruptcy court confirm the debtor's plan of reorganization?

A court can confirm a plan if that plan proposes to pay secured and priority creditors in full and unsecured creditors an amount that is fair and equitable. Thus, even if creditors do not vote in favor of the plan, the court can confirm it as long as it is fair to those creditors. The reasoning is that the court knows what is best and will not allow creditors to thwart the ultimate purpose of the code which is to provide for creditors what is fair based upon the financial circumstances of the debtor
