I see a lot of credit repair pros offering BK removal, was wondering if anyone in here has had any luck, real luck, no spam please.
Looking for tried and true and hopefully affordable. Also wondering once removed does the public record get rescanned and pop back up after 45-90 days or so. Noob here, thanks for any and all advice.

Welcome to the forum.
What you're seeing is a lot of scammers. The problem with these "BK removal experts" is that if they really had a reliable way to permanently remove an accurately reported Chapter 7, they'd be the most famous people in the credit industry, and bankruptcy courts would be overrun with new filings.
What usually happens is they file disputes, something falls off temporarily, they take a victory lap, collect their fee, and then the bankruptcy gets verified and comes right back. Suddenly the "expert" is nowhere to be found or comes up with some other nonsense mumbo jumbo.
Can accurate bankruptcies be removed? Rarely. So rarely that it's generally a fluke. If it's removed due to an inaccuracy such as the wrong filing date etc... It can, and is most often simply corrected and re-reported. Anyone promising guaranteed BK removal for a valid bankruptcy is selling nothing more than hope more than results.
You might get the credit bureaus to delete it early according to their standard Early Exclusion policies.
For TU, try disputing it exactly 6 months before it falls off on its own and say you are requesting Early Exclusion removal, for Experian 3 months, for Equifax possibly 1 month.
TU usually gets back with you in under a minute and deletes Negative Info if it's within 6 months of coming off (as of the first of the month, so for example if it's supposed to come off in October, try on April 1).
But you don't have to pay anyone to ask for this, and if it's any earlier than that they usually just "verify" it and it stays.
Transunion is using G2 Data Solutions and the others use LexisNexis to report bankruptcies, so disputing it with those companies will have to be your first step if you think you have an argument, then if they remove it from their records, go after the bureaus themselves. But your odds are not good.
Thanks for the info. Heres my line of thinking..When I entered into this process I had no idea how deep the waters ran. Had no idea about cesta que vei trust and how creditors actually get a blank check against the birth cert bond they trade on peoples legal fiction created for wall street. Had no idea for ex. how a creditor actually has a built in insurance rider on each acct that the premium is payed as part of the monthly payment, and that they got payed from the legal fiction trust..got payed from the insurance policy, and then tried to triple dip by coming personally through the court. To me, my not knowing, and not being made aware of when contracting with them defines a 'Contract of Adhesion' which is illegal and void to begin with. This is the angle in all lawful actuality a BK should be nullified and removed. This is how they actually operate on a daily basis, and the bk court goes along with it in duping people. Then they take that bk to the fed receipt window and get payed way more than any outstanding balance that was owed or in default.
Welcome to the forum, @s2026m
That's quite an assembly of words there. Reminds me of writing a program and getting a compile error. Maybe it means something to you. So, when you borrowed money, you didn't understand you were expected to pay it back? Oh, I know, it's more complicated than that.
Ditto @CaneVariant
There is good advice here on rebuilding.

These "sovereign citizen" arguments don't end well in court. They can lead to contempt charges or worse, you won't have proper legal representation during a trial for a very serious crime and could end up with a very harsh sentence which will be carried out.
These arguments are typically associated with people who don't believe the government is real and do not believe that laws apply to them if they say some "magic words".
That just is not how this works or else everyone would be doing it.
As to bankruptcy, it's a real and legitimate process. It discharges eligible debt which means that people who you owed money to take a loss.
Those losses go away in the sense that you are not required to pay them, but they don't actually just disappear from the balance sheets of your creditors.
Part of the loss is a tax write off, but mostly they end up considering the risk of default into the price of credit in the first place so it sort of becomes "everyone pays higher interest because some people will default".
How much more interest depends on your risk which is mostly determined by credit reports and your debt to income ratio.
But in the end anyone even with excellent credit pays a premium so that some of the loans in default are covered.
Think of it this way. People with an 850 FICO might pay 1 percentage point of extra interest to cover defaults for people like them, but if you have a 600 FICO score that could easily be 10 extra points.
The bank is making about the same profit margin for both consumers, but people with a 600 are much more likely to go bust so the price of accessing credit is higher.
There's no secret "straw man" account at the Treasury or any of the rest of that horse crap.
The cost of bankruptcy discharges is that everyone in any risk category pays a risk premium to access credit.
Appreciate the info. No I never mentioned anything about a secret strawman..its not a secret, and is very real and has nothing to do with soverign citizens or whatever that is, that term is an oxymoron within itself. I get some people dont understand fully what I was mentioning, and thats ok, but doesnt mean that, thats not how finance and banking actually, work just because its so deep and convaluted, to diswade people from figuring it out. It was worth a shot asking around on here, but I still respect and accept that people may not know.
