bankruptcy removal date question

Ok my question is the bk date i filed is 9/04 and discharged 01/05 i think on my report it says removal 10/14 so is it true that it's removed 10 yrs from the filing date not the discharge date???

Bama,
 
BK 7 is 10 for sure and BK13 for 7 years.  It depends on the CB.  EQ said their policy is 10 years whether BK7 or BK13.  I had a BK13 filed in 2000 removed from TU and EX (which was 7 years from filing date).

Bama,
 
Yes, it's 10 years from filing date.  You filed in Sept. 2004.  It will be removed by the end of Oct. 2014.

This is so true. I've also had a BK 13 removed from TU and EX however EQ will not budge. My file date was 8/1999

Bama,  It depends on the cra. You can get lucky and dispute them and it will be taken off your reports if the don't verify.

Re: bankruptcy removal date question

my ch7 just fell off this month and my scores didnt change at all, in fact they went down. I know there are possibly "bucket issues" with this, but what is everyone elses experience? Its pretty frustrating having that thing on my report for 10 years ( I know its my own fault ) and then not having a decent jump. I have read through some threads, but does anyone know how to tell which "bucket" you are in? Sorry if this is a little off the BK topic. I was just hoping for a little jump in my score! Dave.

Re: bankruptcy removal date question

you probably were rebucketed and put in with all those stellar people who have no public records on their file.  Your score will bump up again soon.

Re: bankruptcy removal date question

Your scores drop after BK drops off as you are rated with the "regular people". Question: when did your IIB's drop off your credit reports?
