What happens to my credit score after bankruptcy has been ten years old?

I had the same problems you have but my credit is all cleared up now. I suggest that you get ahold of the FCRA, Fair Credit Reporting Act. It is a federal act that allows anything on any 3 of your credit reports to be on the reports for no more than 7 years. If these are the problems that you are having I suggest you see a personal banker at your local bank. They are usually more than happy to help you because they know you have accounts through them and potentially more accounts or loans through them. They will be able to tell you how to write the credit reporting agencies and dispute the claims that are more than seven years old and get them removed from your credit reports. Go to annualcreditreport.com and find out what these entries are. There was a federal law passed a year or 2 ago that says consumers have the right to a free credit report from each of the big 3 agencies free every 12 months. Feel free to drop me a line if you have any more questions. tolstadb
