Probably not. It was an attempt to get out of paying debts and many creditors would consider this to be significant as an indication of your credit risk.

A dismissed chapter 13 BK remains on the credit report for 7 years from the date of the dismissal.

This is true for Experian and Transunion. Equifax keeps a dismissed Chapter 13 BK for 10 years after date of filing... if anyone has been successful in getting Equifax to remove this item after 7 years, please share how you did it !!

A CHAPTER 7 BANKRUPTCY TAKES 10 YEARS BEFORE THIS IS REMOVED OFF OF YOUR CREDIT REPORT. THE GOOD NEWS THIS DOES NOT AFFECT YOUR CREDIT ANY LONGER! *********************I filed Chapter 7 in 2003 and depending on what your state court's definition of "dismissed" is it CAN affect your credit. For instance, some courts definition of "dismissed" is the same as "discharged." In Ohio it is "discharged" and I no longer owe any debt, however it DID IN FACT AFFECT MY CREDIT. I can NO LONGER get any. I received denial letters stating the reason for being denied, "Bankruptcy." So do your homework according to your state.
