BK question

Has anyone ever heard of a BK being removed from a CBR early?  Mine is scheduled for drop off  on Jan 2013 and was wondering if there is someway to speed up the process.  I'm hoping it boosts my score a few points when it does fall off.

Re: BK question

 I dont have an answer for you but Im in to see what others say. My (future) brother in-law has a bankruptcy on his reports and Im sure he would love to hear of possible ways to get it removed.

I think at 10 it should fall off but I would call all three bureaus to give them a nudge.

Re: BK question

Unless some issue of its accuracy is contested, it will sit until the CRA excludes it based on FCRA 605(a).  No one is likely to initiate any review other than the normal monitoring of its required exclusion date.

The CRAs will often exclude prior to the maximum date to ensure their compliance with section 605(a).

I would not contact the CRA until the max period has expired, and CR exclusion has not occured.  They have a statutory obligation to be monitoring its exclusion date,  and I would presume they are doing so.

Re: BK question

Hello,

 

I filed Chapter 7, 10/2003.  The crazy part is I changed my mind and decided to pay the debt (at the last minute) and the BK was dismissed, which as you know remains on your file for 10 yrs.  The BK is scheduled to drop 10.2013,  Surprisingly, it dropped from EX sometime during the  end of last year 12' --- it remains on TU and EQ.  Its been a long wait, but at least its closer than it was . . . .
