Legal Question in Bankruptcy in California

Bankruptcy Credit report

We filed Chapter 7 in california in 1991 an discharged in 1992. We were under the impression that it would remain on our credit report for 7 years. However we are told that it is now 10 years. Were there different laws in effect for that time and were we grandfathered in. Thank you for time and expertise.
