There is no set credit score that everyone is assigned after filing bankruptcy. How much your credit score drops depends on a lot of factors, including how many debts you discharged, what your score was before you filed, how many secured debts you reaffirmed, and what type of debts were discharged. Hope this helps!

If you convert a chapter 13 bankruptcy to a chapter 7 will this further affect your credit scores?

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
