Handout Materials
Post-Program FAQs
Sometimes creditors are being told they are obligated to report accounts as being "included in bankruptcy," but on other occasions they are told they are prohibited from reporting accounts that way. Often these demands are made with little or no legal support.
What is the right way to report an account that is in bankruptcy? An account that has been discharged? Is there a "right way" at all?
- What the Bankruptcy Code says — and doesn't say — about credit reporting.
- How recently adopted regulations relating to the Fair Credit Reporting Act may affect the way you should handle discharged debts.
- What we can learn from court decisions about credit reporting of bankrupt accounts.
- What important credit reporting issues haven't been discussed in bankruptcy court decisions and why those issues matter.
- What factors should creditors take into consideration when formulating policy and when making decisions regarding individual accounts.
