The first question is a basis one, how long will the Chapter 7 discharge stay on my credit record?
My other question is, based on the experience of people who have been discharged, how long did it take until you established decent-to-good credit?
On the one hand, I just went through a bankruptcy after screwing my creditors over for about two years before that. My credit score is an understandably low 555. On the other hand, I now have no debt, a good income and cannot claim bankruptcy for another 8 years. So, in a sense, I am less of a credit risk today than I was when my credit score was in the high 600's a few years ago.
