How long does Chapter 11 Bankruptcy stay on a credit report?

• A. 7 years
• B. 10 years
• C. Chapter 11 is not reported on credit reports
• D. Until it is discharged

Answer: (C)

When a bankruptcy is filed, the event is recorded on the credit report as a public record and as a bankruptcy entry. For Chapter 11, the standard treatment is that this bankruptcy stays on the credit report for up to 10 years from the filing date. The clock starts when you file, not when you’re discharged, and discharge doesn’t reset or shorten that period. So Chapter 11 is indeed reported, and the typical retention is 10 years, not a shorter period or “not reported.”
