How would filing a Chapter thirteen then converting to Chapter seven affect your credit score if you have one?
Creditchallenged
I would guess that it would initially cause your credit score to go down a few points ... but look on the bright side -- you would be immediately and permanent OUT OF DEBT! I filed a Chapter 7 four years ago and already my FICO score is back in the 700s, and I have no problem getting credit cards, car loans, etc. All the money I used to put toward debt now goes into investments, and my future looks bright ...

How could you improve your credit score after filing Chapter thirteen and converting to Chapter seven once the Chapter seven bankruptcy has been discharged?
On my website, I have an article on 10 tips to rebuilding your credit after bankruptch: http://www.chs-law.com/2005/05/rebuilding-credit-after-bankruptcy.html
How long after filing chapter thirteen can you apply for credit?
One day. You can apply any time. However, your chapter 13 stays on your credit report for 10 years.
Does a chapter 7 bankruptcy affect your credit the same as a chapter 13?
Yes.
Does chapter 11 affect your personal credit?
Yes.
How do you remove a dismissed chapter thirteen bankruptcy from a credit report?
You can't. A valid entry for a dismissed chapter 13 bankruptcy will remain on a credit report for seven years from the date of dismissal.
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
After seven years can your chapter thirteen bankruptcy be seen on your credit report by creditors?
Yes. For at least 10 years.
How would being secondary on a credit card affect the secondary if the primary filed Chapter 13 can it be taken off the secondary's credit report?
An unfavorable item should be on your report for seven years. A co-debtor's chapter 13 should not affect your liability on the debt.

If you filed Chapter 7 six years ago and it was dismissed but the credit bureaus will not take it off how do you get it removed?
A CHAPTER 7 BANKRUPTCY TAKES 10 YEARS BEFORE THIS IS REMOVED OFF OF YOUR CREDIT REPORT. THE GOOD NEWS THIS DOES NOT AFFECT YOUR CREDIT ANY LONGER! *********************I filed Chapter 7 in 2003 and depending on what your state court's definition of "dismissed" is it CAN affect your credit. For instance, some courts definition of "dismissed" is the same as "discharged." In Ohio it is "discharged" and I no longer owe any debt, however it DID IN FACT AFFECT MY CREDIT. I can NO LONGER get any. I received denial letters stating the reason for being denied, "Bankruptcy." So do your homework according to your state.
If you are about to get married and you are filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy will this bankruptcy affect your spouse in any way after the marriage?
It will only affect the non-filing spouse if the couple apply for some type of joint credit, such as a home mortgage. It will not affect the new spouse's credit report/score.
