Would it make sense to include a paid or settled charge off in a Chapter 7? I have a a few charge off's that I settled in 2020 and they are listed as either a collection account or a personal loan. They are reporting as Paid. Closed. $300 written off or Account paid in full for less than full balance.
I've tried to dispute them but they come back as verified. I would having them reporting as included in bankruptcy be better?

If the COs occurred and were paid off prior to your BK filing, they cannot report as IIB.
Did you actually file BK and when was it discharged ? The BK filing would specifically list out accounts which are included, as stated above, prior accounts wouldn't be included.
I am filing a Chapter 7 on the 1st. These were paid in 2020.

you aren't able to include anything that isn't owing at the time of BK, especially debts that were satified 3-4 years ago
Agree, those accounts are closed now so they shouldn't be included.
