I had a BK7 discharged back in Nov 2007. In that BK I had a car loan that was included and the vehicle was turned back into the bank that month as well. My credit report did say included in bankruptcy with $0 balance. I pulled my credit report this week and now I noticed that my TU score has dropped almost 50 points as there has been an update to this account. It now reads as follows....
Status as of: Dec, 2011
Date opened: Jan 2008
Date of last activity: Jan 2008
Date closed: Dec 2011
It took them 4 years to close an account? Is there anything I can do with this or do I just have to wait till it falls off? If I do have to wait the 7 years will it be from the date of last activity or from the date it w as closed? This is really irritating!
Thanks in advance for any help or advice!
You can do something with this. Contact them directly, in writing. They must report accurately or it is a violation of the discharge injunction.
I'm not sure why closing it should cause a 50 point drop. I could be wrong, though,
Is there anything else that happened since your last score?

Call the OC ASAP. Tell them to fix ASAP.
Good luck.

OP, ditto to the above. Also, did you dispute this prior to the score change?
I dropped 50 because MyFico is saying there is recent activity on a negative account (2 months ago). I guess the closing of the account is the reason for the activity. Nothing else has changed in the past several years. I have only a mortgage and 1 visa card and 1 jcpenney card that all report paid on time since the BK. Very odd...
