Motormouth Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Hello all,I hope this is an easy question. My husband filed bankruptcy in 1996 with his now ex-wife. He has NO paperwork from it at all so I went on to PACER to see what I could find. It was filed in 1996 Discharged 3 months later, reopened in 1998 (I have no idea why) and Terminated in 2000. My basic question is when can we get this off of his credit report (it's a Chapter 7 bankruptcy). Is it 7 years from the 2000 date or the 1996 discharge date? Thanks for any help.MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadynRed Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Its 10 years from the FILING DATE, so the bankruptcy isn't going to come off until late 2006, sorry.As for why his case was re-opened, you'd have to look at the Docket reports on PACER and also look for Adversary Proceedings, it will tell you why the case was re-opened.
