My Ch 13 - filed June 2010, discharged Sept 2015 - fell off my EQ today. It was already off my TU and EX. I suspected it would fall off today, and sure enough it came off 1 month early ! The ONLY remaining baddie is a paid and released Fed Tax lien from 2009 on my EQ. And that should drop off in July, with the new reporting rules.
Scores (Fico 8)
EQ: 730
TU: 777
EX: 775
I have 4 new accts since Feb so those are depressing my age of open accounts a bit, but 800's are reachable later this year. Util is 1%. Credit lines of about 105K. Scores just after Ch 13 discharge were around 500. So it is possible w/n 18 months of Ch 13 discharge to turn things around substantially. Cap 1 has been really good to me - they were the first to extend credit to me shortly after my discharge (I now have CC lines of 40K, and a 2.49% int car loan with them), and I have been able to add accts like Amex (15K) and NFCU (albeit, only a 1K CC).
My wife's EQ also shows the Ch 13 falling off - her score didn't change much (she also has that tax lien, and her age of open accts is much lower than mine).
I plan to go for a CLI on my NFCU acct in July (after the AR), and that should be it until I apply for a mortgage next year (mid Fico mortage score is 730 now).
