How To Understand Fair Credit Reporting Concerning Unrelated Bankruptcy And Your Credit Report
Tim Gorman asked:
Because bankruptcies remain no more than 10 years, credit reporting agencies use the date of original delinquency or, in the case of public records, the date of filing to determine when negative information is deleted. This adheres to the fair credit reporting concerning unrelated bankruptcy. The trend from this group of cases is that the courts have not been receptive to overly creative arguments and have tried to remain faithful to the spirit of the means testing. The courts have managed to do this while pointing out specific instances in which the law is an ass. Proceeds from the sale will be used to settle remaining costs from the Chapter 11 case and fund the conversion, the Company said.
Banks and lenders use the middle score as the average because the credit bureaus report differently from time to time and a median score often serves as the best representation of your overall credit strength. Bankruptcy filing, liens, and collection activity also impact your history. Banks, credit card companies, and other lenders use your FICO score to determine whether they will lend you money and at what interest rate they are willing to lend it. In general, the higher (better) your FICO score, the lower the interest rate you will have to pay when you borrow money.
Bankruptcy is the wrong solution to a problem of the government’s own making. Bankruptcy is never a first option when it comes to dealing with your financial situation, but it is also not a final mark in your financial record. Even after you have filed for bankruptcy, it is certainly possible to redeem your credit score and even successfully get a new credit card.
This is because employee benefits are protected assets and cannot be touched for bankruptcy proceedings. But new legislation is making some retirement assets possible bankruptcy assets. However, bankruptcy is really only a suitable option for people with no or very few assets, as, apart from a few essentials, all your possessions, including property, can be sold to pay your creditors. If you own your own home, or part of it, that can be sold, too, to realize your share of the equity to meet your debts. The record will stay on your full report (which can be pulled in certain instances) pretty much forever.
Your high balances are removed as are any late payments or records of unpaid debts. Thus conforming to the fair credit reporting concerning unrelated bankruptcy. Instead, the accounts included in the bankruptcy will be marked as “Included in Chapter 7 Bankruptcy” or “Included in Chapter 13 Wage Earner Plan,” depending on which type of bankruptcy you filed. Document everything; keep good records. Remember, we are not victims.
These credit bureaus control vast databases that collect information about people which is furnished to them by creditors and from public records. The information is then provided in the form of a “credit report” to potential lenders and others for approved purposes authorized under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I believe that if you declare bankruptcy, you won’t be able to buy a house until that is off your record (7 years). Since you’re already making inroads in your debt, I encourage you to stay the course. If you’ve got a bad record abroad expect it to follow you to Canada.
The purpose is to create a steady work record as soon as possible. Also, you have to obtain credit records from the three credit bureaus. Bankruptcies involve documents that are public record, and will always be available to anyone who looks for them. It should not, however, result in a bankruptcy notation in the non-filer’s credit record.
The courts will only verify such records in person. The credit bureaus will claim that they have a system to verify such records, but when it comes down to it, they don’t. Ensure that any creditors not listed in your bankruptcy and which you are paying regularly, have been reporting your good credit record to all three agencies. Contact any not reporting this and ask them to do so. Be aware that these agencies do not investigate public records and if it is up to the courts they only verify in person. It is important for you to know what your rights are and be able to act on them so that you will be on the winning side of this issue. It helps to understand the fair credit reporting concerning unrelated bankruptcy.
If you were able to remove even a couple of charge-off accounts from your record, it would boost your credit score. This option is only recommended to those who have a track record of making timely payments on all of their currently outstanding debts. If you happen to be a consumer in fair standing with a pretty solid track record for making your payments, your score could very easily jump by as much as 25 points under the new formula.
And lastly, in the public records section of your credit report, you need to verify that the statement of “discharged on date” is annotated in the “amount due” column. All other public record information typically falls off after seven years. When you have fresh credit, there is no track record how you will manage (or pay) this account. Therefore, it’s a higher risk which results in a minor drop in your credit score.
