If a chapter 7 bankruptcy was voluntarily dismissed not discharged can it be removed from your credit file?
No, it will remain for seven years.
Will you not pass a credit check for employment with a pending bankruptcy discharge?
Speaking from experience, if the discharge of bankruptcy is pending, a credit check may not pass, however, having discharged voluntarily from bankruptcy may have the same result depending on the policy of the employer or financial institution.
If you filed for bankruptcy and then changed your mind and never went through with it and it is showing up on your credit report how do you get it removed?
A dismissed bankruptcy whether voluntarily or done by the bankruptcy court will remain on a CR for the required 7 years.
Is it better or worse for your credit to let the bank foreclose on a mortgage of a second property while facing bankruptcy?
A foreclosure or bankruptcy is never good for your credit, this is something you'd be better off discussing with an attorney. You can avoid foreclosure by filing bankruptcy.
How does surrendering your house in chapter 7 affect your credit report?
If you are surrendering your house anyways, it is usually better for your credit score if you do it through bankruptcy. If your house is foreclosed on before you file bankruptcy, then your credit score is hit by both the foreclosure and the bankruptcy. If you let your house go back through bankruptcy, instead, then your credit score is only hit by a bankruptcy.
