Has anyone had a BK 13 fall off their reports early?

I filed BK13 on 5/31/11.  It was discharged Aug. 2016.  It's due to fall off my reports in May of this year.  I'm hoping to hear feedback from anyone who has had a BK13 fall of their reports earlier than exactly 7 years.  If so, about how early.  Thanks for any information you can share.

Re: Has anyone had a BK 13 fall off their reports early?

I filed BK 13 in October of 2010 and it discharged in Jan 2016.

It fell of Experian in July 2017.  I requested EE from TU in July and they removed it.  EQ would not remove it at my request but it finally fell of EQ on Sept 1st 2017.

I filed in August 2011 and was discharged August/September 2016 (can't remember off the top of my head the exact month.).  I request an early exclusion with TU this month and the BK13 was removed in less than 24 hours.  I plan to do the same with EQ and EX around May/June.

 

You should definitely do an EE request with TU.  It's almost guaranteed to come off now.

Thank you for your responses.  Is an EE easy to do?  Should I do this online or by snail mail?

Wow!  That's great!  I filed 2 months before you.  I just got off the phone with both Experian and TransUnion.  Big fat "no" from both of them.  According to TU, it cannot be removed until April 2018 at the earliest.

I did not call but requested online.  I don't know if that makes a difference or not.  But you should watch your TU reports, because if I recall correctly, others who called and were told no over the phone still had it removed within 24-48 hours.

 

Experian is known to remove around 3 months early but of course, as with all things credit, YMMV.  Hang in there!

How did you get it removed so early?  Isn't that 8/9 months early?  I thought they would only do 6 months early?  Maybe I am looking at your post wrong.

Can I ask how you requested online?  I went on the TU website and I can only find a way to dispute.  I guess, I don't think that's what I want to ask for since I'm not disputing that I had a BK13.  I just want to nicely ask if they'll remove it early.  Thanks for your help, again.

Here's my update.  Last night I requested an early exclusion of my discharged ch.13 from all 3 CRA.  About 15 hours later, TU deleted the BK from my credit report!  Wow!  Hopefully I'll hear from EX and EQ soon!
