How much is my current Chapter 7 really effecting my score now?

Hello all! I have a Chapter 7 from 10/05 that should be falling off this year??? Anyway I was curious on if I will even see a boost in my score from this? Or with it being 9+ years old is it not really being computed anymore?

Are you familiar with the concept of bucketing?  If not, do a little reading on FICO and bucketing.

 

When the BK falls off, you will be rebucketed.  Your scores should jump nicely.  I can't wait for mine to fall off, but I have ~ 8 years to go.

I saw significant score changes.   My BK fell off TU by this point:

This is what happened when it fell off EX:

Today, it fell of EQ:

In my case, I saw significant score boosts across the three CRAs.
