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.

How does bankruptcy affect your credit ratings?

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

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 your first bankruptcy was dismissed and the second one filed but you never made payments for either can they be removed from your credit report?

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.
