You mean your credit report....that should happen automatically. Not because it actually ends, but because most credit report requests ask for the information (or credit reviewers only consider it), for a 10 year time frame. That you went throught the process will always be an available record as a court and legal matter...can't really change the past.

Is that 6 years from bankruptcy or the date you are discharged?

Under the bankruptcy laws effective on October 17, 2005, Chapter 7 cannot be filed unless the debtor was discharged from the previous Chapter 7 or bankruptcy more than eight years ago. The debtor cannot file a Chapter 13 unless: (1) the debtor received a discharge under Chapter 7, 11 or 12 more than four years ago; or (2) the debtor received a discharge under Chapter 13 more than two years ago. Not sure where your 6 years comes from...but all dates are discharge date.

Can a Government official come and collect on a student loan that was filed in bankruptcy over 15 years ago?

Ugh. This question is a loaded minefield. I will say this, that up until 1996, you could discharge a student loan in a bankruptcy if it was over 7 years old. Was your past student loan discharged in the past bankruptcy? It's hard to say. You need to inform them that you filed bankruptcy 15 years ago and plead your filing as an affirmative defense. You may have to re-open your old bankruptcy case and litigate the issue. Do speak to an attorney.

Can judgments that were included in a bankruptcy filed 10 years ago be removed from the public record?

No. In most cases, public record will remain. That is why many BK attorneys, credit counselors, etc. inform you that a bankruptcy never really "goes away".
