Bankruptcy Click on the question to see the answer.

How do I get a bankruptcy off my credit report? Does the 10 year time period start when the bankruptcy was filed or when it is disposed of? It took 3 months for the process. It was filed in August and signed by the judge in November. Which date would be used?
I recently went through a divorce which left me with credit card debt. On top of that I have a student loan and monthly child support to pay. Most of my salary goes toward rent and other bills. What should I do? My sister belongs to a credit union so I'm going to try to get a loan from them. I've heard the interest rate could be 10 percent or higher on a loan. Is bankruptcy an option?
What happens to me when my spouse/ex-spouse files bankruptcy?
We filed for bankruptcy a few years ago and we still have judgments on our credit report. How can we get these judgments removed from our credit report?
I filed for a bankruptcy protection about 15 years ago. I recently found out that a company purchased a credit card debt from that bankruptcy. Is there any way that I can have that company remove that debt from their system?
