There are actually some bottom feeders that will buy and sell BK discharged debt. I have no idea how its legal to do so, but they do.
They are apparently asserting that they had collection authority on the delinquent debt prior to its discharge.
The date opened for a collection is normally reported as the date they received collection authority.
Thus, there is a disconnect in their reporting, as it is unclear as to what "status" their collection had back prior to discharge of your BK if they had not yet obtained collection authoriyt on the debt.
I would dispute the accuracy of their reporting, asserting as the basis their reporting that they did not receive collection authority until after the debt no longer existed, and thus they had no active collection authority at any time when you had the debt. That will compel an explanation of when they obtained collection authority.
Thank you for clarification and a path to take. I have re-disputed the item this morning using the language you proposed above. I will keeo you updated on the result.
