BK, as a matter of Federal Court records, is available almost indefinately. Virtually all credit reports from the major credit agencies will report it for 10 years from discharge, in their normal format. As information services, a longer, or shorter, time period may be requested and provided, depending on what the requester wants to pay for.

Can bankruptcy be taken off your credit report if the bankruptcy was dismissed through the courts?

Bankruptcies are a matter of public record and this is why they appear in credit histories. A Chapter 13 listing will remain on your credit report for seven years from the filing date and a Chapter 7 will remain on the credit report for 10 years from the filing date. The credit report entry will state the bankruptcy was filed and dismissed, not discharged.

Do you have to be working to file for bankruptcy?

There are three types of bankruptcy namely Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, Chapter 13 Bankruptcy, and Chapter 11 Business Bankruptcy. Chapter 7 bankruptcy will discharge most types of debts for the average citizen. It will stay on record for ten years, but the major benefit is the stay it provides which prevents creditors from hassling you. On the other hand Chapter 11 bankruptcy is used by businesses, not citizens, to reorganize debts while Chapter 13 bankruptcy is wage earner's bankruptcy, which allows you to repay your debt through a plan. Among these three, Chapter 13 bankruptcy is considered as the best option for people with a steady income, who happen to have fallen behind in loan payments. idk and i dont give rats a**. hahahaha

They do this to encourage people to pay part of their debts rather than discharge it all under a chapter 7. More importantly, the effect of bankruptcy on one's ability to get credit is vastly overstated. The key to getting the credit you need has far more to do with the amount of present income you have rather than any negatives on your credit report.

If you have a 700 credit score but your chapter 13 just discharged what interest rates will you be able to find?

With a 700 credit score and a recently discharged Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you may still face higher interest rates compared to those without a bankruptcy on their record. Lenders typically consider the bankruptcy when assessing risk, which can lead to rates that are 1-3% higher than average, depending on the type of loan. However, your relatively good credit score can still help you secure more favorable terms than someone with a lower score. It's advisable to shop around and compare offers from multiple lenders.


If you default on a student loan does that stay on your record after you file for a Bankruptcy?

Any debt listed (or should have been listed) in your bankruptcy can be reported as discharged for the ten years the bankruptcy can be reported. Since a student loan cannot be discharged without proving a hardship (the difficulty of which varies from state to state and even court to court), the default can probably be reported as long as it remains unpaid.

If a Chapter 13 filed in August 1999 was dismissed in March 2000 but not discharged when does the bankruptcy fall off the public record?

The bankruptcy will never fall of the public record, which is kept at the courthouse. It will be shielded from view on your credit report 7 years from the date of adjudication. However, many consumers have had success having dismissed legal actions removed from their credit reports by writing a letter of dispute to the bureaus. This is worth a try, should you not want to wait until March 2007.
