how long does it take

[marializ]

Hi, thank you all for your imput our bankrupcy was recently discharged last month. How long does it take to show up on your Credit reports? Because I noticed its not showing up yet. Does it actually show a balance amount or does it just say when it was discharged? Just curious..
Thank you...

It may take a month or two to show up as a public record. Then your old bills should report as $0 balances/discharged through chapter 7 bankruptcy. You will most likely have to dispute some things to get them corrected. If you've already pulled your credit report/s, now is the time to go back and dispute all negative information on them.
