A free guide for Florida residents considering bankruptcy. Filed in S.D. Fla..
Bankruptcy does not remove a repossession entry from your credit report. However, filing bankruptcy discharges the deficiency balance -- the amount you still owe after the repo and sale. Your credit report should show the balance as $0 after discharge. If it still shows a balance, dispute it with the credit bureaus under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The repo notation itself remains for 7 years.
