Do banks use the 'file date,' or is it a year after 'discharge date'?
Thanks.
File date is the ruling date that decides when a BK starts. DC is just that. The BK proceedings is over. You have any other question you need to know?
Yes, Firemedic thank you. I need a new car soon and I want to apply for a real bank loan, not one from these predatory companies that keep sending me flyers. So is the "rule" wait a year after my file date, or do I wait a year after my discharge date to apply for a bank car loan?

Banks will look at the DC date, since that is the date that you are considered debt free in a sense.
Filed date only means you filed....it doesn't necessarily mean that your BK case was a success....or a failure.

The bankruptcy filing date is the date when you file the petition for bankruptcy with the court. By contrast, the discharge date occurs toward the end of the process. How long it takes to get from the filing date to the discharge date depends on which type of bankruptcy you file.The fall off date after 10 yrs is the file date not the DC date.
