Bankruptcy can be reported on your credit report for up to 10 years from the date your case was filed. As for your discharge, that occurs at different times depending on what chapter you filed.  In Chapter 7 where there are no objections and no assets being disbursed, you would have received your discharge approximately 4 months after your case was filed.   In Chapter 13 it occurs approximately 36-60 months after your case is filed (once you complete your plan payments).   I'm going to take a big leap and assume you didn't file a Chapter 11 case.As far as getting a copy of your discharge notice, that can be obtained from the bankruptcy court file.  Simply contact the bankruptcy court where your case was filed.Mark J.
