Your confusing credit reporting with the BK laws. Different things. The laws changed the time limits between filing, they don't effect the credit reporting agencies....which are private information services and can basically do what hey want. As a mtter of federal court your record is available for a long, long while for anyone that wants to look, or pay someone to look for them. Most credit reports look for 10 years. how long a lender may care about it is another story. Their own personal preference.

Are creditors required to remove debts from credit reports if filed under bankruptcy 7?
Assuming that you properly listed the debt in your bankruptcy, the creditor should report the balance owed as zero and it should also correct your credit report to show that the debt was discharged in bankruptcy. You should send a certified, return receipt letter (keep a copy) to the credit card company and enclose a copy of your discharge. Demand that they correct this entry on your credit report. If they fail to do so, contact a local bankruptcy attorney for further assistance. Failing to correct a credit report can be a violation of the discharge order and the bankruptcy court could order the creditor to pay you damages if they fail to correct the error. You should also write a dispute to the three credit reporters: Experian, TransUnion and Equifax, and have them insert it in your report, i.e. "This debt was discharged in bankruptcy on _____ (date)."
