How Long Does Bankruptcy Stay on Your Credit Report?

A Chapter 7 bankruptcy will remain on your credit report for up to 10 years, while Chapter 13 stays for up to 7 years. However, this doesn’t mean you won’t be able to get credit. The bankruptcy record simply indicates that your debts were either discharged (Chapter 7) or reorganized (Chapter 13), but you can still access financing and housing opportunities even with this information on your report.
