How do you remove a bankruptcy from your credit?

You can dispute a bankruptcy to the credit bureaus. This gives them 30 days to verify it with the courthouse that filed it or it must removed from your credit report. This would only be the bankruptcy, not the items included in bankruptcy. You would have to dispute them separately. Answer No, a bankruptcy cannot be removed if you actually had one and it was discharged. Rather, it will "time out" after a set number of years. You can recover some credibility after a couple of years of paying accounts as agreed.

Maybe.It also depends on a lot of other factors, but if you would have been able to get that same job before you'd filed for bankruptcy and there would not have been any other factors preventing you from getting the job, then you should be able to...also depending on the reason bankruptcy was filed in the first place. All those factors are taken into consideration.

If it is going to be a joint obligation, then they will check your credit status. If both incomes are not needed to qualify for the transaction, the husband could apply in his name only. Therefore only his credit rating would be used.


When will a bankruptcy come off your credit report if the discharge date for your Chapter 7 was September 1996?

The statute of limitations for reporting information about a bankruptcy is ten years from the date it was filed. You did not mention the filing date, so the very late date your bankruptcy should show on your credit report would be September of 2006.

Credit reports just report history...if the history is accurate...then it remains..we live with the past we make. Anything else would be inaccurate and fraudulent. If one does not like the history they created, they are wise to not repeat it.


My spouse is filing bankruptcy do i have to?

Items on your credit history remain only with you. They do not get copied to your wife's credit history after you get married. The only items that appear on both your credit histories is if you have a joint account with both your names on the account. I would get the advice of a lawyer on how best to proceed. You may have certain rights or obligations depending on whose name was on what papers. I am an attorney who concentrates her practice in bankruptcy. No, your spouse is not required to tell you that he or she has filed bankruptcy. However, if you are anticipating dissolution of marriage or there are other special circumstances, the court may find fraud if your spouse disposes of assets or relieves himself or herself of debt. It varies from state to state. However, there is no requirement that a spouse tell the other of a bankruptcy. Bankruptcy is a matter of public record though and you can look up whether people have filed or not by going to the PACER website.


Can you get a student loan if you have filed bankruptcy?

I am trying to figure this out myself as I have recently filed bankruptcy and both my husband and I are students. There is a portion of the bankruptcy code that makes it illegal for government agencies to refuse student loans to those who have filed bankruptcy. So, as far as getting Title IV funding, such as government backed loans, you should still be able to get them. Title IV loans are not granted based on credit worthiness and therefore should be given to those who have filed banlruptcy, as long as there are no other eligibility issues, such as a student loan in default, drug conviction, etc. If you want to get a loan from a private lender, then they are under NO obligation to give you a student loan if you have filed bankruptcy or have other credit problems. For example, the Plus! loans that are available to parents are based on creditworthiness, so a bankruptcy would affect your ability to get this type of loan. As far as my student loan after bankruptcy, I did have to fill out additional paperwork and am still awating the results. I will post again after I find out what happens.


If you have already filed for bankruptcy will your credit go up if your parents add you to their credit card account?

A consumers' credit scores are calculated based on ALL the information showing in their credit report. It would be impossible to guess the impact of one account on the whole without extensive information.
