Bankruptcies are a matter of public record and this is why they appear in credit histories.

The credit report entry will state the bankruptcy was filed and dismissed, not discharged.

Will items listed after the discharge date due to mistakes by the credit companies affect the 7-10 year removal of bankruptcy from a credit report?

As far as I know, nothing affects a Chapter 7 bankruptcy's removal from a credit report after 10 years from the date on which the bankruptcy was filed: once 10 years elapse from the filing date, the Chapter 7 should be removed from the report. 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.
