Chapter 13 does not remain on your credit report as long as Chapter 7. Generally, Chapter 13 is considered a less harsh remedy as it remains on your credit report for only seven years from the filing date. Chapter 7 has a more harsh effect as it remains on your credit report for 10 years. In some instances, a Chapter 13 that is later dismissed or not completed can also remain on your credit report for 10 years.
