How do you get a dismissed Chapter 13 it off your credit?
I may be wrong about this, but it is my understanding that you CAN'T get a Chapter 13 off your credit report until it automatically comes off 7 years from the date it was filed. But, if it's on there longer than 7 years, you can ask the credit reporting agency to remove it. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy is listed on your credit report for 7 years regardless of why the case was filed or whether it was successfully completed or dismissed (and Chapter 7's are on your credit for 10 years).

Does Chapter 13 come off your records from the date that you filed or the date the bankruptcy was completed?
Usually within thirty to ninety days when the BK 13 is completed. I disagree with the above response. It is my understanding that a Chapter 13 bankruptcy comes off your credit report seven years after the Order for Relief, and the Order for Relief is issued immediately upon the filing of the petition. So, the Chapter 13 should come off of your credit report seven years after the filing date.
