If you are at the 7th year after filing a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 would the credit agencies automatically take it off your credit report?

er,um, Sort of...
The legal action of a Chapter 7 bankruptcy can show on your credit report for 10 years from its' date of discharge.
Chapter 13 can also show for 10 years, but it is customary for those to be shielded from view after 7.
Once again, the time period runs from the date of discharge, not the filing date.
I disagree with The Credit Lady on one point: The 10 years (or 7 years in the case of Chapter 13) begins to run from the Order for Relief. The Order for Relief is immediately granted when a debtor files bankruptcy (i.e. the debtor is immediately protected from creditors), so the 10 years (or 7 years) begins to run from the filing date, not the discharge date. 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.
