How do I get a Bankruptcy removed from my credit report?

NVB-FAQ
The Bankruptcy Court has no jurisdiction over credit reporting agencies. The Fair Credit Reporting Act, 6 U.S.C. Section 605, is the law that controls credit reporting agencies. The law states that credit reporting agencies may not report a bankruptcy case on a person's credit report after ten years from the date the bankruptcy case is filed. Other bad credit information is removed after seven years.

Some of the information on your credit report may just be plain wrong. Accounts may not be yours; judgments against people with similar names and duplicate items are very common. Ask the credit bureau in writing to re-investigate the information. Under federal law, the credit bureau MUST re-investigate and get back to you within 30 days. If they don’t, the item in dispute has to be removed.

No, we may challenge any items that you feel should be challenged and the credit bureau must verify these items. The only exception to this is that they do not have to verify inquiries, but if you feel that an inquiry should not be on your reports then the company that supposedly asked for your credit report can be contacted and that fact may be disputed with them.
