It may go up, but not much. Each year after the bankruptcy, the bankruptcy is given less and less weight in the credit scoring process. Don't be surprised if your score goes up only 10-15 points. Your main gain is the loss of the stigma of bankruptcy when your report is actually reviewed by a prospective creditor.

If you filed Chapter 7 six years ago and it was dismissed but the credit bureaus will not take it off how do you get it removed?

A CHAPTER 7 BANKRUPTCY TAKES 10 YEARS BEFORE THIS IS REMOVED OFF OF YOUR CREDIT REPORT. THE GOOD NEWS THIS DOES NOT AFFECT YOUR CREDIT ANY LONGER! *********************I filed Chapter 7 in 2003 and depending on what your state court's definition of "dismissed" is it CAN affect your credit. For instance, some courts definition of "dismissed" is the same as "discharged." In Ohio it is "discharged" and I no longer owe any debt, however it DID IN FACT AFFECT MY CREDIT. I can NO LONGER get any. I received denial letters stating the reason for being denied, "Bankruptcy." So do your homework according to your state.
