Please advise regarding, how the lender reports to the credit bureaus, when you bankruptcy (chapter 7 or 13) is filed and after the bankruptcy is discharged. How, is it different from the normal credit reporting.
When you file bankruptcy, the court clerk sends a notice to your lender notifying them. Now it's lender duty to report credit bureaus notifying about the bankruptcy filed by you.

Hi Hanth,

When your bankruptcy is reported to a credit bureau, it may remain on your credit report up to 10 years after the filing of the case. Lenders views bankruptcy as an extremely negative item on your credit report and thus have a negative effect on your credit score.
