Cleaning up Credit after Ch. 7

[bnkruptintexas]

What is the name of your state? TX

We filed a Chapter 7 bankruptcy September 23, 2005 and were discharged January 3, 2006. We are trying to "clea up" our credit report as much as possible. I am n oticing that several creditors are reporting us delinquent whether it be 30, 60, or 90 days from September-November of 2005. Can they still report us delinquent after the filing of a bankruptcy? I was under the impression that they could not, and I will dispute if that is the case.

Thanks!

Can they still report us delinquent after the filing of a bankruptcy ?

Absolutely NOT ! If the lates occurred BEFORE you filed, they could report those, but a discharged debt can NOT be 'late' - ever. Neither can it be listed as a charge-off AFTER your bankruptcy.

For cleaning up your reports head over to www.creditboards.com and start reading the Newbie threads.
