http://www.lowcostlegal.com/can-a-company-report-a-charge-off-after-filing-bankruptcy/

"CAN A COMPANY REPORT A CHARGE-OFF AFTER FILING BANKRUPTCY?

 

If you have filed for bankruptcy, your creditors such as credit card companies may not report the debt you owe them as a charge-off. It must have a different designation. Although laws vary somewhat by state, there are federal laws that govern the designation of charged-off debt."

 

"Most low cost bankruptcy attorneys recommend that you pull your credit report 6-8 months after your bankruptcy is discharged. If debt still appears on your report as charged off debt, contact the 3 reporting agencies by phone or in writing to notify them of the error. Fax or send them a copy of your bankruptcy discharge if they question the validity of your claim. By law, they are required to convert all charge offs to discharged debt once your bankruptcy is discharged. If they do not, then have your bankruptcy lawyer write or contact them. That usually takes care of the issue."

 

 

If you get no results, you can also go to the CFPB (http://www.consumerfinance.gov/)

Re: PLEASE Help with re-aging

I am unaware of any provision of law stating that a real loss accrued by a creditor cannot be reported as a charge to profit or loss based on the fact that the loss accrued due to a BK discharge of the debt.  I would speculate that such authority would be required prior to contesting the legality of their accounting.

 

The date of reporting of their having taken an accounting of a business loss is not the date they took that action.

They dont report the date of a CO, they report on a given date only that they have previously taken that action.

 

I would recommend consulting an accountant or tax atty before contesting the legality of their chargeoff of the loss.
