Through mismanagement of money, you've learned you're financially illiterate and have filed for bankruptcy. How long will this affect your credit history?
Answer 7 – 10 years
If you file Chapter 7, bankruptcy will remain on your credit reports for 10 years from the date of filing. File Chapter 13, and you only have to deal with that black mark for 7 years.
