Under the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act, bankruptcies can be reported for 10 years from the filing date (not the discharge date, which comes later). However, all three major credit reporting agencies will remove Chapter 13 bankruptcies seven years from the date the case was filed.
Most information (good and bad) will stay on your credit report for seven years. However, some financial disasters (divorce, bankruptcy) can stay for as long as ten years.
