I filed for a chapter 7 bankruptcy on December of 2001 and it has since been discharged. I would like to know how long that bankruptcy will be on my credit report. I filed the bankruptcy in the state of Connecticut. Thanks in advance for your help.

My financial situation is such that I may need to file bankruptcy. I am starting a new job and as it is a small company I may need to get health insurance on my own instead of through the company and the employer will reimburse me for a portion. I am wondering how filing Chapter 7 Bankruptcy will affect this, if at all. Any assistance would be VERY helpful. Thank you!

I am in the process of filing for chapter 7 bankruptcy. My girlfriend and I are also trying to buy a house. She has all of the money for the house. We are going to pay cash. All of the debt that I am declaring bankruptcy on is mine. I haven’t used a credit card in nearly a year, but am still buried in debt.
How soon after declaring bankruptcy can I own property? We would like to put my name on the house at some point, but don’t want it to look like we have been hiding assets.

I have heard this is a good way to remove a BK. See below. Has anyone tried this?

Unlike other negative information which stays on your credit report for 7 years, bankruptcy can be reported for up to 10 years.

Bankruptcy courts keep cases active for a period of two years before placing them on microfiche.
