7 years

Bankruptcies are included in most credit reports for 10 years from the time of discharge. bankruptcies are not debts...those are generally discharged or paid in BK....they are reported, generally, for 7 years. As a matter of legal courts public record, the BK itself is able to be found on many other searches for just about forever.
