10 years from discharge
Bankruptcy can stay on your credit report for up to 10 years. If you obtain the credit report directly from the credit reporting agency (ie. Equifax, Transunion, Experion) the report will provide you with directions on how to dispute the information.

If the debt that you were sued over, or the judgment itself was included in your bankruptcy, you only need send a copy of your bankruptcy papers to the credit reporting agencies. The judgment will not "come off", but it should get marked "included in bankruptcy" or "discharged through bankruptcy".
The statute of limitations for reporting information about a bankruptcy is ten years from the date it was filed. You did not mention the filing date, so the very late date your bankruptcy should show on your credit report would be September of 2006.

Bankruptcy should be expunged from the credit report after the ten year from the BK discharge has expired.

Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. 301,
It should have come off no later than 1999/2000. First make sure that it is on your credit report in a place that a lender may see it. Some CRAs send individuals a "complete" report that may not be avail. to creditors or potential creditors. You can also contact the CRAs directly. Experian, Trans-Union and Equifax are the CRAs.
