I was wondering how much points would I gain once my public record falls off this year? Please advise.

no way to really tell... some actually loose points because of the rebucket but it's more rare I would say to loose points.... you might not see a huge bump in points HOWEVER in approvability you might see a lot!
75 point increase for me across all three
but I also had a strong profile / zero negative and a good aaoa

I think by the time they fall off they have aged so much that the large increase I was hoping for on mine didn`t happen
I would think it depends on how much you are able to rebuild and how focused you are on it. From what I have seen on these boards it is important to establish four or five cards that you garden until your credit grows and you can get better cards. If you do that then the bk wont affect you either way when it falls off.
A primary factor is whether or not there are any ermaining major derogs.
While other major derogs still remain, you remain in a "dirty" scoring categorization, and score improvment is less.
Once all major derogs are removed, scoring categorization becomes "clean," and significantly higher increases are normally seen.
I think wagsk1 is right. Once they fall off they are so old their impact is minimal. I have a judgememt in February 2010 from being being sued over a truck reposession in 05. That was for over 13K. Maybe if the amount is larger it's impact will be greater and therefore more of an increase when it falls off. I'll let you know in 2017!
