The estate of the deceased is responsible for the debts. In this case, it would be difficult to show that the spouse benefited from the debt.
Most debts remain seven years, bankruptcies 10 years, judgments seven years to an indefinite period of time if they are renewable.
Besides paying your debts off or filing bankruptcy if you are unable to pay off these debts there is nothing you can really do to clear them from your credit report. Most debts stay on your credit report for seven years.
Your will lose your ability to pull credit for years, your accounts will go into collections, you can be sued for the debts, and/or you can wait 7 years for the debts to come off your credit report. If you have a judgement because you were sued, then it is likely that the debt will stay with you for 10 years +. Moral of the story, do the responsible thing and pay the debts off, even if it takes a long time to do so.
Bankruptcy does not get discharged. Debts are discharged. The bankruptcy will remain on your credit report for 10 years from the date of filing. The debts that were discharged can remain for 7 years from the date of discharge, showing a zero balance and that they were discharged in bankruptcy.
If they are valid debt default entries they cannot be removed from the report until the required seven years have expired.
