Depends on what you want taken off. If it is something reflecting good on your credit report than you want to keep it on there. That's what is helping your score. If it reflects bad and you dont owe the debt anymore, than write into all 3 credit bureaus disputing the debt, then the the bureaus will send a letter to the company for validation. The company has up to 10-20 days to respond. Once the company responds stating whether or not you owe the matter the credit bureaus will remove it if you dont owe it or notify you that you owe the debt.

If your bankruptcy is going to be removed how many points will your credit score go up?

If you have disputed to have the bankruptcy removed in your dispute letter request your free credit report to be sent to you with the updated information. When a CRA corrects information on your credit report they have to send you a free copy of your credit report showing the updated information. This of course is if you had to dispute to get it removed if it just rolls off on its own you may have to pay for your credit report if you've already gotten your free yaerly report. That depends on a lot of factors. Your credit score is calculated using certain formulas and factors, such as amount of total credit versus credit being used, number of accounts, payment history of current accounts, etc. You're best bet is to obtain your score after you think the bankruptcy has been removed. You'll probably have to pay for it, but it's worth peace of mind.
