Can a bankruptcy be removed from your credit report?

[johnson]

Just a follow up to this thread.

Well, it seems some BK Courts DO verify info directly with the CRAs, via a simple phone call. They don't do email or electronic verfications, though. I happen to live in an area where they do. The CRA can call, ask about the BK, and they'll tell them if it's on record and filed. Don't know how much more they tell them, but it's a fact they DO verify some of it on the phone.

I just talked to the BK courts today, in person. They refused to give me their procedures in writing as well. Very, very frustrating, because I know it's not being verified via the courts when I disputed. If it were, the errors would've been corrected. HELLO! That's not their concern, of course.

I'm glad some of you live in areas where the courts do not verify. I do not, however. They really do not wish to get involved in your disputes, either, or help you in any way. Good luck to all...this method won't work for some of us.

Sorry I should have also asked what type of BK it was.
A Ch13 BK stays on your report for 7 years. Ch7 BK stays on for 10...

Either way, reporting the wrong date is bogus......but if this is a Ch 13, then it can be disputed as obsolete.

Hi trish in california loving it breathe better poor as hell though.If you get it removed beware of ca's jdb's trying to collect on old accounts because of the removal,have them correct the date at the court house,if the date is wrong if you dispute it they can correct it and claim bonafide error.So you might leave it alone unless your seeking a large loan.
