Will your credit score go up after your chapter 7 bankruptcy passes the 10 year mark?
Adding to below--it shouldn't even be on your report after 7 yrs. Lots of times it drops off before that. Yes, but having the bankruptcy on your credit report is not as bad as most people would think. After a year or so following the bankruptcy discharge (about 4 months after you file) a person can get credit for new cars and for new credit cards even with a bankruptcy on their record, and after another year can even get a home loan, but that is only if they have good present income.
