bankruptcy19 How long after a bankruptcy is discharged (finalized) does your credit report reflect that?
ariel_okinawa asked:


In other words, my bankruptcy was discharged at the end of March, when will the credit report relect which accounts were thrown out in the bankruptcy?

Thanks!
DAS: I know that the items stay on the credit report, but they will have a note indicating that the were included in the bankruptcy so that any future creditors can see that the debt is not outstanding.

bankruptcy24 What is bankruptcy and how will it affect me?
jacksmom asked:


Not so sure if we’re actually going to have to file for bankruptcy or not, but my husband and I have talked about it before. I know vaguely what it is, and vaguely what it will do, but I’m not clear on all the details. Anyone care to enlighten me?

bankruptcy2 What effects does bankruptcy have on someone for the rest of their life?
Jason H asked:


Someone I know is filing for bankruptcy. I was wondering if there were any effects that bankruptcy would have on her as far as credit. Does bankruptcy go on any kind of personal record? I’m just wondering if she’ll always have to worry that filing bankruptcy will effect her credit permanently or any other issues throughout her life?
