Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Pennsylvania
Bankruptcy
I filed bankruptcy in 1997 in Pittsburgh, PA. I' m not sure which one I filed since it was to long ago. All I know is that I did not have to pay or give anything back. Now, when I go to get cash loans, creditors won't allow me to re-establish credit to show I'm ready for the responsiblity. One creditor told me I only have (2) items on my report: (1) for about $400.00 which I am paying very well and (1) for a credit card I got in early 2004 for about $3000. Why I am having a hard time getting credit? What could possibly be the problem? How long after the ten years do you have to wait?

The bankruptcy should be off your credit record after ten years.
