How long does a bankruptcy remain on your credit report?

Hi
Many people consider bankruptcy as an option to become debt free. They think that filing for bankruptcy will give them a fresh financial start. But they forget the grave consequences. It leaves a black mark on your report. And trust me it takes time to build credit. So before filing for bankruptcy one must discuss its pros and cons with a an attorney.
