Is It Really Possible To Delete A Bankruptcy?

"There is a bankruptcy on my credit reports so my credit score is terrible

. Is there anything I can do ? I've seen some credit repair companies who claim it is possible to remove a bankruptcy from my credit file. Is there actually some way I can get good credit again?"

More and more people are finding themselves asking questions like these. Bad credit affects millions of Americans and in an economy where even people with decent credit ratings are having a difficult time getting credit, people with less than desirable credit ratings are finding themselves being left out of the credit game entirely. Naturally, they begin inquiring about what they can do other than biding their time for years waiting for the negative credit listings in their credit reports to age and eventually fall off.

The answers people get when asking these questions are typically discouraging. Most of the time, they are simply told that they will have to wait 7 years for most negative listings and 10 years or more for a bankruptcy. And as if that wasn't enough, the people answering these questions also tend to throw in unnecessary jabs like, "that's what you get for being careless" or "you should have thought of that before you acted irresponsibly".

This is sad because what most people don't realize is that so many people with poor credit don't deserve it. They are simply a victim of circumstance and in many cases, a circumstance that is practically unavoidable.

The number one cause of bankruptcy in America is fallout from a medical emergency or illness and while you can argue that insurance and preventative care will keep these situations from destroying a person's finances, that is not always the case. Complications from unforeseen gaps in insurance coverage and billing errors can end up making you have to pay much more out of pocket than expected. When coupled with the loss of wages or employment that can go along with an illness or injury, these expenses can lead even the most responsible people down the road to bankruptcy.

Fortunately, for many people, not all hope is lost. Regardless of what most people think, it is possible to dispute and permanently remove any type of item from a credit report, including a bankruptcy. The law gives consumers the right to dispute any item on their credit reports that they feel is inaccurate or misleading. The law gives people who are being unfairly labeled as a a credit risk the opportunity to work to correct their credit score.

This process of working to remove questionable negative items from credit reports has become known as credit repair. Whether through their own credit repair efforts or with the help of a reputable credit repair service, thousands upon thousands of people have been able to legally and permanently delete negative items from their credit reports including late payments, charge offs, collections accounts, foreclosures and bankruptcies.
