Paid Charge Offs

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.

Re: Paid Charge Offs

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

Re: Paid Charge Offs

Agree, those accounts are closed now so they shouldn't be included.
