I have an account IIB now is reporting as if it's never been included in bankruptcy. Its now showing as 1 month past due? What can I do to fix this?
Following a 30 year flawless credit history I had no alternative but to file Chapter 13 following the downturn des[ite every effort to avoid it. As unfortunate it was and as worthless I feel and felt as a result, I've got 8 months to go in my 100% plan. My Experian score is 50 pts less than the other two. The reason is the same as yours in that 2 accounts show past due balances despite the account balances showing as zero. Isnt that a theoretical impossibility? Experian says this information has been verified. The other two CRA's show zero across the board but the last report date is later. I've written to the banks requesting an update and correction. I'm not holding my breath because its plain to see how the banks are empowered to trounce all over us. I hate to be negative, but as a realist I see this disgraceful treatment. my experiences prove that point. My home mortgage with monster Chase (did I say that?) also showed past due years back in the beginning of the filing and even though as a priority debtor they were paid up to date in the first few months, my credit reports showed past due. When dispiuted, I was told Chase verified the information. I wrote Chase, called Chase, wrote Chase called Chase, and oh yes called Chase and wrote Chase, and eventully they reported the truth.
I have a 34 year old business and now have a substantial net worth. Own valuable commercial real estate with 25% debt to equity have never ever missed a payment on the business mortgage. Tried to refinance at lower market interst rates expecting to pay a premium, but the answer is no. I could save 2500/month just by refinancing this property (again with a flawless payment history) based on market interst rates and recasting the balance over a new 15 year term. But Chase say NO, Suffer. Home Mortgage with Chase - refinance? Harp? NO Suffer. I dont have health insurance, dont spend a cent, am repaying my debt earnestly, was no dead beat before the fiasco, But I guess am considered a third class citizen because what they created tripped me up. Oh well. I know who I am. 8 more months, and I hope to rebuild my life and personal esteem back up. I'm not really interested in very much credit, but have always managed it wisely and my debt and filing was not a result of wreckless and wasteful spending. I think I've gotten off track -- Sorry. I think its important to pay your bills consistenly and on time. I think this scoreing, reporting and bank manipulation of credit scores is whack and deserves a careful amount of respect. I'll update here if I am succesful in getting the past due reporting corrected.
