Sorry but that is not true.. although the debt may disappear from her credit file after seven years(negative statements are usually removed by the 3 major agencies after seven years).. The original creditor or one of its agents(a collection agency or debt purchasing agent) has up to her states statute of limitations to bring action to collect the debt.. anywhere from 3- 15 years

How can you improve your credit score after your bankruptcy is completed?

First of all, I would wait a few months and request a free copy of your credit bureau (by mail) to make sure your bankruptcy is no longer on your file. Hopefully all your creditors with negative ratings are all gone. If you have any creditors with good ratings, you should continue using them because the established creditor is good for your bureau. If you do not have any good creditors then you should try to apply for one or two creditors and keep them in good standing for at least 2 years before applying for more, if necessary. Personally I think 2 or 3 creditors are maximum you should have.


Can you make a deal with creditors?

Yes but when trying to do so you should understand that you will have to pay the creditors something until the debt is settled and it is best to get a 3rd party to mediate and negotiate the deal. Alternatively you could go bankrupt - and that would void the debts BUT with a serious blemish to your future creditworthiness.


What do you do if you receive an inheritance shortly before your Chapter 7 meeting with the creditors?

Any money you inherit prior to a bankruptcy being discharged would have to be revealed to the judge and trustee assigned. These newly acquired assets would be factored into your financial picture and may be captured in whole or part to pay your creditors. It is possible that a sizable inheritance would cause your bankruptcy petition to be "thrown out". Consult with a competent attorney to learn the exact implications in your case and state.

On my credit report it says included in the chapter 13 payment plan. Will this information come off after seven years?

The only fair answer to this is sometimes. Chapter 13's are sometimes removed after seven instead of ten years by creditors voluntarily, but there is no guarantee or requirement that they do so. More importantly, having a bankruptcy on one's credit report is not near as negative as some creditors would like you to believe. Fact is, if you have good income, the creditors will find a way to finance what you want regardless of your credit report - and conversely, if you have a perfect credit report and no income, you are not going to be able to buy anything on time anyway.
