How do I get a bankruptcy off of my credit report?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Roger J Bus (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Debt Relief Law Center
There is no way that I am aware of to get a bankruptcy removed from a credit report prematurely. If there was a legal way, everybody would be doing it. One of the ramifications of filing bankruptcy is it can be legally reported on your credit report "up to 10 years." Some creditors may "ignore" your bankruptcy filing after only 2 years, others after 6, etc.- but that is their decision to make. Some creditors (such as high interest car lots) may ignore your credit report almost immediately, proof of a steady job is good enough for them to provide secured financing. But I have no knowledge of how you could remove a bankruptcy after only two years in order to obtain condo financing- the only thing you can do is be up front about it and persuade them you are a good credit risk in spite of your prior bankruptcy.

Is there any possible way to keep a car when filing a chapter 7?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Kathryn Ursula Tokarska (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Offices of Kathryn Tokarska
Provided you can afford to make the payments and your equity, assuming there is any, in the car fits into one or more of 3 possible exemptions (depending on other facts) you can continue to pay & keep. There may be options such as: redemption, reaffirmation and surrender. Which one makes sense will depend on other facts not disclosed. Please don't rely on answers here in making a decision whether to file for bankruptcy. Even with the information you provided there are other considerations such as income & living expenses, perhaps there are some other assets you haven't even thought as assets, how much in medical debt you have & whether there may be a way to settle the medical debt outside of bankruptcy, etc. and other things to think about in figuring out whether filing bankruptcy makes sense for you and what results you can expect.
