Generally a bankruptcy filing (Chapter 7 or Chapter 13) reduces your credit score by around 75 to 150 points. There is no exact amount since how credit reporting agencies determine your credit score is a big industry secret, but a 75 to 150 point drop is what you can expect. So, this means you usually need to wait 12 to 15 months after filing bankruptcy to get a car loan and 2 years after filing to get a mortgage (though of course other factors affect this too, such as length of employment, income amount, debt-to-income ratio, post-bankruptcy credit acquisition, etc). Please note that nothing in this posting or in any other posting constitutes legal advice; this is simply my understanding of the facts and law, which I do not warrant, and I am not suggesting any course of action or inaction to any person. Speak to a lawyer for specific advice. If you have any questions, please refer to a lawyer in your jurisdiction. Thanks!
It will only affect the non-filing spouse if the couple apply for some type of joint credit, such as a home mortgage. It will not affect the new spouse's credit report/score.
I filed Chapter 7 last year and when I applied for a credit card this year I was denied and the reason was "bancruptcy".
In Louisiana, a Chapter 7 bankruptcy stays on your credit report for 10 years from the date of filing. This can affect your credit score and ability to secure new credit during that time. However, after the 10-year period, the bankruptcy will be removed from your credit report, allowing you to rebuild your credit history.
Ten years from the date of original filing.
Whether you are filing Chapter 13 or Chapter 7 bankruptcy, your credit score will be directly impacted for 7-10 years AFTER you exit protection.

How to get after job filing chapter 7 bankruptcy once it appears on the credit report

Yes.

Yes converting a Chapter 13 to a 7 will further lower your credit score. It will show up on the public records section at the begining of the credit report. Once as an terminated chapter 13 and a second public record showing the filing of the Chapter 7. Each public record reduces your score. You can potentially be discharged from a Chapter 7 sooner and that's will be the time the clock will start ticking to eventually make it disappear from your credit report which I believe is 7 years for most derogatory entries
Bankruptcies are a matter of public record and this is why they appear in credit histories. A Chapter 13 listing will remain on your credit report for seven years from the filing date and a Chapter 7 will remain on the credit report for 10 years from the filing date. The credit report entry will state the bankruptcy was filed and dismissed, not discharged.
7 years from discharge (not filing, but actual date of discharge) of a Chapter 7. Don't know about a 13.
Yes. That reporting to a credit agency of an item of fact, is not an attempt to collect the debt. Your not expecting you mortgage debt to be discharged are you?
A chapter 7 bankruptcy filing remains on your credit report for 10 years. Chapter 13 bankruptcy remains for seven years. Under chapter 13 bankruptcy you repay at least a portion of the debt, so it is removed a little sooner.
