I did, but it took years. You'll need to keep watch on your credit report and keep the creditors from reporting you as being in a bk AND having late payments and charge offs. Under federal law the BK wipes out the previous debt but somehow they get to keep reporting you. Just make sure they are reporting it accurately and begin to acquire more credit that's being reported to the bureaus. You want to replace the old bad credit with new good credit.
