I pulled my annual credit reports and disputed the BKs. I checked off the boc that has this item has been dimissed/cancelled, etc.

 

It I just found out it is now off my experian and transunion also! Interested to see what difference it makes in my scores.

Re: Equifax dropped BK early

It might not make a huge difference. I've read multiple reports that have people gaining a minimal amount of points... Due to the fact the BK is 7-10 years old when it falls off and already had a minimal effect on their score.

You can try. They removed mine after I disputed it at 9 years and 10 months. I've heard of others who have done this. I had also tried around 8.5 years without success.

Re: Equifax dropped BK early

It has been reported that the CRAs will remove BKs up to six months early. Naturally YMMV but if I were you, I would request that it be removed. The worst they can do is to say no.

 

I am so jealous of the OP. I can't wait until 2017!!!!!

My BK dropped early too with an 80+ increase in FICO Score. Every person's CR is different but it sure put a smile on my face Smiley Happy
