Hi, I was made bankrut 6 years ago and have checked my credit status online with Experian. The date of my bankruptcy was in May 2004 and I was discharged in October 2004. As this information only stays on your credit file for 6 years do I have to write to the credit agencies and ask them to clear it from my account? Which date does the 6 years start from?
Thanks for any help and advice you could give me with this as the last 6 years have been a nightmare and I really want to clear all this up. |

Whats the best way of doing this then?
I have an online Experian account and have written to them, so that fine.
I tried to join up with Equifax but their sign up process is so messed up I couldnt do it.
I havnt tried Call Credit. What is their online sign up process like? (If you know that is!)
Thanks for your replies by the way, I really appreciate them.

Nope, unfortunately not! You will need to correct any errors with all 3 agencies. They don't all hold the same information so you might not find all of your creditors on each report.

As far as I know it's 6 years from the date of the BR order.
It may take a little while to drop off your file, but it might be worth you contacting Experian to check.
Have you checked Equifax and Callcredit as well?

Hi raj.x
I'm not an expert on credit files, but my guess would be that it would be 6 years from the discharge date
