Bankruptcy will stay on your credit for 7-10 years. You can apply for loans immediately after the case is closed, but you aren't likely to obtain them for some period of time. It will be necessary to rebuilding your credit first.

Talk to a real estate mortgage broker. There are different programs out there. The general thinking is that a wait of either 2 or 3 years after bankruptcy is the norm but a mortgage broker would know best what programs are out there at any given time and the parameters needed to qualify.

To have the bankruptcy information removed from your credit report, you need to submit a dispute to the credit bureaus who are currently reporting that information. The dismissal paperwork that you should have received from the court and/or your bankruptcy attorney will serve as proof that you in fact did not receive a bankruptcy discharge and simply filed a petition for bankruptcy protection that was later dismissed. Your written disputes should be sumitted to the credit bureaus at the addresses found on their websites (they generally have a contact us tab on their websites). They will have 30 days to investigate your claim and update the information, so the change to your credit information may not happen over night, so the sooner you get this information corrected, the better.
