Confused with creditor reporting

I'm a little confused by 2 of my creditors on my credit report. Last week each company updated my credit report to a $0 balance and included in bankruptcy. Today I received an alert that the collection acount was added back to my file and the other one reported the origional balance. Any ideas why they would do this? I know I wont be discharged until August but just confused on why they reported it correctly and then changed it.

Don't worry about it until after discharge. Technically you still have a balance until the debt is discharged thru the bankruptcy.

Can I ask where you are getting your notifications from? I only ask because CK gave/gives me some odd updates sometimes.

Re: Confused with creditor reporting

They actually came from credit karma but I am also a fico subscriber so I'm curious to see if they will update with the same notice. According to CK credit report it was $0

 and included in bankruptcy but today it shows it was added back. LOl I'm all kinda confused. Just a waiting game til August I guess.

Every couple of months CK tells me a couple accounts have been removed and that I also have newly reported accounts Smiley Very Happy Wait until discharge, I'm sure it will clear up.

Re: Confused with creditor reporting

thanks so much for the insight to CK and their reporting. I thought it was just their credit scores that couldn't be trusted Smiley Happy
