Chap 13 trustee made late payments

 We are awaiting the discharge paper from a chapter 13. We have gone over our credit reports and see that several creditors were paid late, which is resulting in deragotory marks. The most serious one is a camper, which we voluntarily surrendered. We were just told by doing so, it became an unsecured creditor, and was moved low on the list. This has resulted in 2 years of late payments. A huge problem.  How can this be done legally? We know a bankruptcy is a bad mark, but these sort of late payments are not acceptable. We have a 100% on time payment record with the trustee. Help!

That sucks.  I would be just as upset as you.  Have you spoken with your attorney or the creditor? I would think that the creditor would remove all of the late pays considering the circumstances.  I would contact the creditor first and if no luck there I would contact your ch. 13 attorney.  If all else fails, then I would probably try to dispute it with the credit bureaus.

Re: Chap 13 trustee made late payments

If you got your BK13 payment in on time to the Trustee, its the trustee's fault for the late payments being delivered to the creditors.

Contact your attorney and tell him/her what happened and he/she can advise you. Im sorry for your situationSmiley Sad

Re: Chap 13 trustee made late payments

Are your creditor's not showing your accounts as Included in bankruptcy? Typically, even on a 13, the accounts are listed as Included in bankruptcy. Usually they won't report a positive payment history once you file.
