If you mean you never filed bankruptcy, your name and social security number have evidently been confused with someone else's. You will have to contact the 3 credit reporting bureaus and ask them to verify the information. You can acess them all through one site: www.annualreports.com. Do not go for the ID theft protection or other stuff that will cost you. Go directly to the free credit reports.
You present proof that the repossession never occured. You can dispute it with the credit reporting agency.
No, filing bankruptcy will never help improve your credit score, it stays on your report 10 years whereas a repo or foreclosure normally remain 7 years. So bankruptcy would only make your credit worse.
Contact the credit bureau that has the incorrect information about the bankruptcy. They will contact whomever they need to in order to verify the information or remove it if it is deemed false.
If there is a bankruptcy filing showing on your credit report and you did not actual file, you should dispute that information with the three credit bureaus. They will then investigate and remove the information if it is inaccurate.
Never
The credit bureaus are legally required to give you a copy of your credit report on request (there's a limit on how often you can ask for it, but if you've never asked for one you should be okay there).
As with everything, bankruptcy law can be complicated and the manner by which credit ratings occur can seem mysterious at best. Filing for bankruptcy will in general lower your credit score, but with some good spending habits and good financial stewardship will again rise over time, especially since part of your credit score has to do with income to debt ratio. When you file for bankruptcy, the debts do not simply disappear as if they never existed. Your history of late or missed payments, if you have one, will remain on your credit report and will continue to drag down your credit score. Additionally, the bankruptcy will stay on your record for many years. A Chapter 7 bankruptcy will remain on your credit report for 10 years from the date of the filing
{| |- | AnswerSome things like filing for a bankruptcy never come off easily from your credit report as such an incident is considered as you are not able to manage your finances and lenders later see this as a risk.|}
A dismissed bankruptcy whether voluntarily or done by the bankruptcy court will remain on a CR for the required 7 years.
We will assume this questionis regarding filing Bankruptcy. You are never blacklisted during bankruptcy. It will remain on your credit report maximum of 10 years. That does not mean you will not be able to reestablish credit after filing bankruptcy during those years. What you will be able to obtain will depend on your payment history after the bankruptcy, the type of credit applied for and the length of time since you filed.
If you are referring to a dismissal from a job, I do not think that should be there. I have never heard of the dismissal from employment being on a bankruptcy. I would consult an attorney on this.
The second according to my credit report only says filed. My transUnion doesn't show it and I don't have my Experian report. I will have to contact the court I am sure to get the documentation I need. thanks for your input. Your first bankruptcy can be removed, because it was dismissed. A dismissal is a legal disposition of the legal action bankruptcy. The other disposition is discharged. You don't mention what the disposition was of the second bankruptcy. If it was granted, and your debt discharged, but you never paid on it, (was it a chapter 13?) then it is not discharged. You need to find out the correct status of the bankruptcy before this question can be answered.
