Having a bankruptcy reopened to include debts is very difficult, it is usually only allowed if the BK has been ruled a "no asset" case. The ususal reason for reopening a BK, is non-exempt assets have been found and are of enough value to liquidate and the monies be used to repay creditor(s). Contact the bankruptcy trustee for specific information pertaining to an individual case.

Bankruptcy may remain on your credit report for up to ten years. However, what is probably more important to you is the impact that bankruptcy will have on your credit options.

Bankruptcy information (and other legal actions like judgments) may stay on a credit report for up to ten years after the fact. If your credit report still reflects a bankruptcy after ten years, create a dispute/update request with the associated credit reporting company and include proof that the bankruptcy is older than ten years old (the state record of the original date of bankruptcy action is typically all of the proof one needs). Negative items (including home loans that may have been forgiven) may stay on your credit report for up to seven years after the occurrence, regardless of bankruptcy status. Similar to the process above, if there is negative information on your credit report after seven years, one can request an update/modification of the credit report by providing appropriate proof.

You can dispute a bankruptcy to the credit bureaus. This gives them 30 days to verify it with the courthouse that filed it or it must removed from your credit report. This would only be the bankruptcy, not the items included in bankruptcy. You would have to dispute them separately. Answer No, a bankruptcy cannot be removed if you actually had one and it was discharged. Rather, it will "time out" after a set number of years. You can recover some credibility after a couple of years of paying accounts as agreed.

After 1998, the only new information that the creditor should be reporting is that the debt was included in the bankruptcy. The debt is nearly 7 years old anyway and should drop off your credit report by the end of 2005. Visit the website for the Federal Trade Commision and you will see they they have very helpful information on how to dispute items like this on your credit report.
No, collection agencies cannot remove items from your credit report. Only the credit bureaus or the original creditor can remove negative items from your credit report.
