It should be removed 10 years after the filing date. If not, notify the credit reporting bureau of their error in not removing it. If it remains, consult a bankruptcy or debt collection practices lawyer.

Will it help your credit if you dismiss your Chapter 13 bankruptcy and start making payments to your creditors?

No, it will probably hurt your credit. The Chapter 13 is on your credit report for 7 years from the date the Order for Relief is entered, which is the day the case is filed. So, even if you dismiss it the credit hit from the 13 has already appeared on your credit (a 75 to 150 point drop). And, if you dismiss it, then all the creditors included in it suddenly come back to life and would start billing you, making your debt to income ratio worse. And, if you fail to pay them, then the late payments would make your credit even lower. Once a 13 is filed, it's best - creditwise - to finish it.


How do you fix your credit on your credit reports?

This depends on what is wrong with your credit report. If you have accounts sent to collections, then you need to pay them off and wait for seven years for them to drop off your credit report. If you have late payments, start paying on time each and every month. If you are using more than 30% of your available credit, then pay off some of your debt until you are below 30%. Those are just some of the many ways to "fix" your credit.


How does a collection affect your credit score?

A collection can drop your score dramatically and may make it impossible to get a new loan. It is important to take care of the collection account since it will be removed from your credit report seven years after it is paid, but can stay on indefinitely if not.
