It has been about 8 years or so since I was discharged from bankruptcy, and I was wondering, on a credit app, there is the question, “Have you ever claimed bankruptcy”?, Legally, do they have the right to ask, or legally how do you answer this question, I feel like answering , none of your business, check my credit report, and if that is not good enough for you, forget about it.
