While there are some Federal Laws on fair credit reporting...credit reporting is an service information service provided by private cos for it's customers...they can provide reports for any period the customer wants to purchase...some customers only require reports covering a few years and certain items...most standard credit reports have parameters that include BKs for 10 years, and liens, court jugdements, along with criminal and work and address history. A BK, being a federal court action, is a matter of public record and available to anyone looking for almost forever. You can't change or tell someone to ignore the accurate history you make for yourself.
