How do I get a bankruptcy off of my credit report?

Pamela L. Stewart
Answered by attorney Pamela L. Stewart (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Pamela L. Stewart, Attorney at Law
Unfortunately, you can't get the bankruptcy off your credit report. By law, credit reporting agencies have the right to report a bankruptcy for ten years from the date the case was filed. The bankruptcy is a part of your credit history - you don't dispute the fact that you filed for bankruptcy. Two years after bankruptcy is a very short time to expect to be obtaining credit and loans - especially considering where the economy is. Even if your credit was just okay, I doubt you would be able to get a mortgage loan at this point. Give it time, as your bankruptcy ages, it will have less weight on your credit score. Meanwhile, you should pay on time for whatever debt, bills you may have.

Is there a time limit to get a case number after you have retained a lawyer to avoid creditor contact?

Mark J Markus
Answered by attorney Mark J Markus
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Mark J. Markus
The case number is issued after your case has been filed. If you hired an attorney solely to avoid creditor contact, and not to file a bankruptcy, there would not be a case number. If you did hire them to file bankruptcy, then the time period depends on what you and the attorney agreed to.  What does it say in your retainer agreement?  Have you provided the attorney all the requested documentation and information for them to prepare your case?  Have you paid all the fees?   I am not really sure what your issue is and there's too much missing information to guess.   Mark Markus has been practicing exclusively bankruptcy law in California since 1991.  He is a Certified Specialist in Bankruptcy Law by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization,  AV-Rated by martindale.com, and A+ rated by the Better Business Bureau.

Is deferred compensation like pension and Individual Retirement Arrangement exempt in a bankruptcy?

Answered by attorney Willie Stephen Graves (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Graves Law Firm
IRS qualified retirement programs are generally exempt. A bankruptcy lawyer can review your plans and tell you if they meet the requirements for the exemption, but they very likely do.
