Answer 1

Bankruptcies are reported to credit bureaus and stay on record for TEN years.   Charge off and other negative credit information stays on a credit report for 7 years

Answer 2

yup. seven years. unless you go through the mountain of bullshit to petition it to come off sooner, which usually doesn't work.

so *seven years*

Answer 4

Seven years in most cases

Answer 5

As of 2002, seven years. However, under the Bankruptcy Law which took effect in 2005, a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy remains on your  record for 10 years.
