How long does a voluntarily dismissed Chapter 7 stay on your credit report?

The Fair Credit Reporting Act allows Chapter 7 bankruptcies to show on a consumer's credit report for 10 years from the "date of the order for relief or the date of adjudication".
I don't know what "voluntarily dismissed" means. But if the bankruptcy was indeed dismissed, you could write a letter of dispute to the credit bureaus and request that the filing be removed.
The bankuptcy will appear on your credit for 10 years from the date it is filed (since the filing date is the date on which the Order for Relief is issued). I'm not absolutely certain regarding the law on this issue since I've never researched it, but it has been my experience that credit reporting agencies usually won't remove a bankruptcy from your credit report even if it was voluntarily dismissed. I do not know if you can legally force them to remove it. I suspect the best one can do in such a situation, short of filing a lawsuit against the credit reporting agency if there is some law where you can force them to remove it, is ask them to remove it, and if they won't, then ask them to note the fact that it was voluntarily dismissed in the credit report.
I believe the contact addresses for each of the three major credit reporting agencies are:
Trans Union Corporation ATTN: Public Records Department 555 West Adams Street Chicago, IL 60661
Experian Profile Management P.O. Box 9558 Allen, TX 75013
Equifax P.O. Box 144717 Orlando, FL 32814
Please note that nothing in this posting or in any other posting constitutes legal advice; this is simply my understanding of the facts, which I do not warrant, and I am not suggesting any course of action or inaction to any person.

If a chapter 13 bankruptcy was voluntarily dismissed not discharged can it be removed from your credit file?
You can't get it removed. It is a public record. If you file a bankruptcy and get it voluntarily dismissed the next day, it will still be on your credit report. Also, by the way, not paying into a Chapter 13 plan is not a voluntary dismissal. The Trustee moved to have the bankruptcy dismissed. - The easier approach would have been to actually voluntarily have it dismissed. Regarding Nate's posting, I agree that non-payment of a Chapter 13 normally results in the trustee moving to dismiss your case, which is an involuntary dismissal. I have no idea if whether a Chapter 13 is voluntarily or involuntarily dismissed affects your credit rating differently (probably not, credit reporting agencies barely seem to recognize the difference between Chapter 7's and Chapter 13's, much less the way in which any particular case is dismissed), but there can be a big difference to the debtor whether a case is involuntarily or voluntarily dismissed if a creditor has moved to get property back. Once a creditor asks the court for permission to get back some property (such as a car or home), which they do by filing a Motion for Relief from Stay, then if you voluntarily dismiss your case you are barred from re-filing a new Chapter 13 for 180 days. This 180 days may be enough time for the creditor to foreclose/repo and sell the property. Once a creditor moves to repo/foreclose in a Chapter 13, many people prefer to be involuntarily dismissed so they can re-file a new Chapter 13 immediately and get protection again before the creditor sells the collateral. Please keep in mind this is not legal advice but simply a statement of what many people do in that situation from my perspective. So, while Nate (in the posting above) said it is easier to voluntarily dismiss, that does not mean it is always better to voluntarily dismiss, depending on the circumstances.
How long does a discharged bankruptcy remain on a credit report?
Accounts stay on your credit history for seven years. Bankruptcies stay on for ten. * New bankruptcy reform laws have no bearing on credit reportage. A discharged chapter 7 or 13 remain on the report for 10 years from discharge date. A dismissed chapter 7 remains for 10 years and a dismissed chapter 13 remains for 7 years.
Can you buy a car after chapter 13 dismissed?
Dismissed or completed? If it were dismissed, your credit report will show that you filed for bankruptcy. Obviously, if you filed bankruptcy your credit is not great. You certainly can buy a car for cash. Finding someone to lend you money; or getting a loan will be more difficult.
