You’ve probably been wondering, How
Long Will Bankruptcy Stay on My Credit Report?
If I file a chapter 7 bankruptcy case, how bad will my credit be
damaged? What if I file a chapter 13
bankruptcy case, how long will that be on my credit? What about a Chapter 11 business bankruptcy?
At the time this video is made, a
chapter 7 bankruptcy will stay on your credit report for a period of 10 years. That doesn’t mean you won’t be able to get a
car loan or a credit card or even a mortgage for a house after you file. In fact, after your chapter 7 case is over,
you will get many credit card offers in the mail. You will be able to get a car loan and a
credit card usually within 30 to 45 days after you file a chapter 7 case. A
mortgage usually takes at least a year, but usually 2 to 3 years after you file
before you will qualify.
It is different in a chapter 13
bankruptcy case. Usually, a chapter 13 bankruptcy
will report on your credit history for 7 years a drop off. Remember, in a ch 13 case, you are in
bankruptcy for at least 3 years and no more than 5 years. This means if you are in a 5 year plan, the
bankruptcy will only report for 2 years after your case is done and then it
drops off of your credit history. Not a
bad deal.
