A dismissed chapter 13 remains on a credit report for 7 years. A dismissed chapter 7 or 11 remains for 10 years. A discharged chapter 7 or 13 or 11 remains for 10 years. If the date for the dismissal or discharge exceeds any of the above time limits then the consumer should contact the credit bureaus by written correspondence requesting the entry be expunged.

Can you get a civil judgment removed from your credit report if it was included and discharged in a bankruptcy even if the judgment date is later than the bankruptcy discharge date?

No, debts, liens, judgments incurred after a bankruptcy has been filed cannot be included and therefore cannot be discharged in the BK proceedings.AnswerI was informed that if you had included this creditor in your bankruptcy, which was discharged, the creditor should have stoped all actions towards obtaining a judgment against you. I believe this judgment can be discharged by filing a discharge request with the court administrator and only then removed from the credit report. However, if you did not list this creditor on your bankruptcy, then it will prevail. Call the court administrator.


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.


How can you get a 'satisfied' judgment removed from your credit report?

To get a 'satisfied' judgment removed from your credit report, you can contact the credit reporting agencies and dispute the information. Provide any documentation that shows the judgment has been satisfied. You may also need to reach out to the creditor or court that issued the judgment to request that they provide confirmation of its satisfaction to the credit bureaus.


If a person was sued many years ago for child support but recently the arrears were suspended by the court can this be removed from their credit report by going through a dispute process?

I believe credit accounts are not removied from your credit report unless they are not your accounts (fraud) to being with. The credit bureaus should be able to notate that the account has been suspended, cleared, or paid in full with regards to that account. You can also place a message of your own in your credit report that anyone can see when they pull your credit. Also, accounts are not deleted from your credit report until they run their course. It can be 7-10 years depending upon what type of collection account it is.


What is the law concerning Credit Bureaus must have verifiable proof of the foreclosure account in their files if they are going to report the negative item on your report?

The Fair Credit Reporting Act requires creditors to report your account accurately, and the credit bureaus are required to maintain records that match the reporting. The bureaus are not responsible for the accuracy of the reported account information as they do not have access to the account records for each creditor. If you dispute the accuracy of an item, they request a response from the creditor, at which point the creditor must either show that your dispute is invalid, that your dispute is indeed valid, or fail to respond in a timely manner (failure to respond will mean the dispute is accepted and the item corrected or removed).

How do you remove a bankruptcy from your credit?

You can dispute a bankruptcy to the credit bureaus. This gives them 30 days to verify it with the courthouse that filed it or it must removed from your credit report. This would only be the bankruptcy, not the items included in bankruptcy. You would have to dispute them separately. Answer No, a bankruptcy cannot be removed if you actually had one and it was discharged. Rather, it will "time out" after a set number of years. You can recover some credibility after a couple of years of paying accounts as agreed.

How do you remove charge offs from a credit report?

Charge-offs remain on your credit report for 7 years. If the account has been included in a bankruptcy, it should be marked as such...."included in bankruptcy". However, according to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, if you dispute the charge-off with the credit bureau and the creditor can not verify the account, it must be removed from your credit report immediately. Only the original creditor or the credit bureaus can remove a charge off, either through negotiations or through the dispute process.

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.
