Re: Bankruptcy removed from credit

it'll be gone in ten years max,depending if it was chapter 7 or 13 no way to have it removed early as you did file. It may be removed a handful of months before that 10 years but not before that.

Chapter 7 filed 2/3
Discharged 6/30

Post that violated MyFico Terms Of Service was removed. 

If anyone wishes to discuss credit "repair" scams, unethical practices, frivolous disputes and so on, this is not the place for it. 

If your post was removed,  and you require additional clarification, please start here and here

@Society1 

Check out Credit Reporting After Chapter 13 posting chain from last year. Several examples including mine. I can't remember whether EX or TU came off first after 6 yr and 6 mo after filing (6 mo early), then the other at 6 yr mo and 9 mo (3 mo early). I do remember EQ refusing to come off early but did drop off a little less than a month from 7 yr window. This link will show the successful and not so successful strategies used in the last year or two. Do not believe anyone that says you can get a discharged BK13 off before 7 yrs after filing. Seems they do sometimes drop off mysteriously, but I haven't seen that tied to anyone's action, intentional or not.

 

Good luck!

Re: Bankruptcy removed from credit

If you filed a Ch 7 - 10 years from discharge. You can search the term early exclusion - plenty of threads here about it.

I filed 13 in 2014 and it was supposed to be off my credit in 2021 and it still is showing up.

Chapter 7 - 10 years legally.  TU has been known to remove after 9 w/ an EE.  EQ & EX possibly 3 mo. early with an EE.  EQ being the most strict.

Fico 8 Scores 5/1/22 :
799 EQ | 793 TU | 809 EX

Re: Bankruptcy removed from credit

Did you successfully complete and receive a discharge from the Chapt 13? If not, and it was dismissed, it can stay on for 10 years.
