    Professionally Researched. (What's this?)

    According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Information on Chapters 7, 11 and 12 bankruptcy that have been filed will stay on a credit report for 10 years. This amount of time can be shorter depending on if the bankruptcy was properly discharged, halted or dismissed.
