I have often been asked, "How long will a bankruptcy stay on my credit report?" A Chapter 13 Bankruptcy public record may stay on your report for up to 10 years from the date filed or up to 7 years from the date of discharge, whichever occurs first. A Chapter 7 Bankruptcy public record may stay on your credit report for up to 10 years from the date it was filed.
