In Louisiana, a Chapter 7 bankruptcy stays on your credit report for 10 years from the date of filing. This can affect your credit score and ability to secure new credit during that time.

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.

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
