Bankruptcy Dropped From Your Credit Report

Not sure I am putting this question in the right place.  Does a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy drop off your report 7 years from filing for 7 years from discharge.  Secondly, once a Bankruptcy drop off and you applied for a mortgage and your score was pretty good because the Bankruptcy had been dropped, aren't you still obligated to tell the lender that you had a bankruptcy in the past if hey asked and doesn't that disclusure negate the fact that it dropped off your report.

Once it falls off, your score will recover.

 

Yes, you have to disclose it on your mortgage application.

 

No, it shouldn't negate the fact it dropped off your report.
