Charge offsand bankruptcy

I have two accounts that were charged off and sold a few months before I filed for bankruptcy. I know that they will remain listed as charged off by the original creditors. They are not being reported by any CA. They were listed in my bankruptcy as OC since that's the only info I had. I disputed to have them listed as IIB, but they said it is correct as is. Am I protected against collections by the collection agency for those accounts?

Re: Charge offsand bankruptcy

These collections should have been included in your bankruptcy, I suggest you keep disputing the items and make sure you send a copy of your discharge paper with each dispute. Something I noticed works well is wait 6 weeks between disputes, I finally got my last account to show correctly just today.

Try contacting the CA's directly and let them know about the BK. Tell them they are not allowed to report it and see if they will remove them asap.

How do I find out who it is? My credit report just says sold to another creditor.

I should have read more closely, I apologize.. If they aren't reporting there is nothing to worry about at the moment.

Re: Charge offsand bankruptcy

They are listed on my Transunion as charge offs by the original creditors.  I disputed it once, but they said it was correct.  I called the buyer of one debt and they said they would change it a couple of weeks ago.  The other original creditor wouldn't tell me the name of the buyer because they couldn't talk to me during the stay.  I am discharged now, so maybe I can try again. I  also filed another dispute with Transunion.
