    is there a letter out there to request the credit bureaus to take the bankruptcy listing off early. Mine is set to come off in 5 months but i want off now.

    You probably won't get far writing a letter to them. I would try disputing it with the bureaus, it may just drop off.

    Good luck

    You can't wait out five months for it to fall off? What's your hurry?
