How much your credit score increases after a bankruptcy is removed from your credit report depends on a number of factors, but many people report increases ranging from 30 to 100 points. A lot depends on how much work you put into improving your credit score while the bankruptcy was on your credit report and how bad your credit is when it comes off.

Mine just dropped off this month and my TransUnion went up 82 points, Equifax went up 65 points.
May I ask what the number was before it went up? I am at a 709 and mine will drop off in five months. I am so excited to see what it may be!

Nov 2020 a family members credit score increased 80 points after a bankruptcy 7 was removed after the 10 year waiting period.
Can someone please help me? My Chapter 13 was removed today from one report (Equifax) and it dropped my score 15 points!!! I have sustained a lot of good credit since the bankruptcy start.
