Normally a credit rataing, like for example, the CIBIL rating contains marks or points on which the credit rating of a loan applicant is determined. If the credit rating is high, then the credit rating of that person is good. If the points are low, say for exqample around 400- 450, it is risky to give a loan such a borower. Such a borrower is not credit worthy!!

Thus a credit rating either relects a positive or negative score. But the credti rating also indicate "0" (Zero), whichi is an unknown status. We will not be knowing the credut history of the borrower.

A "ZERO" credit score indicates that the borrower has no credit exposure so far and he has not availed any loan from any bank. That is why the credit score is shown as zero! Thus a zero credit score does not mean that the credit history of that borrower is bad!! It indicates that the borrower has not so far availed any loan from any credit institution.

How do you remove a home loan from you credit report after bankruptcy it was listed on Bankruptcy.?

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.
