If the vehicle is owned by someone else (the credit union) then it is not yours to raise finance on.
In this instance the account would generally be noted as "included in bankruptcy. The impact the open account would have is insignificant, compared to the bankruptcy.
Make sure the creditor was notified that their debt was included in and discharged through your bankruptcy. Once notified, they cannot legally update a trade line.
Not if the debt is discharged in the bankruptcy.
With bankruptcy most banks will not take it into account after 2 years of discharge. Banks look more favorably on Chp. 13 than on Chp. 7's, I deal with many banks who will actually refinance before the 2 year period depending on the circumstances.
The debt collector cannot change the date of anything, legally. If the account was discharged in bankruptcy, everything up to the filing date is not owed any longer.
Your credit report will show both the accounts (which were listed first) and the legal entry of the bankruptcy in the public records portion of your credit report. Once a bankruptcy is discharged, credit grantors should update the account listing (called a trade line) and make sure that no derogatory information is showing (like past due balance or collection account notations) EXCEPT for the "included in bankruptcy" statement. This is what SHOULD happen. It's up to you to follow up and make sure that your credit report looks like it is supposed to after a bankruptcy.
Yes and no. If an account was already charged-off before the bankruptcy, it can be reported as a charge-off. By law, the creditors must charge-off accounts included in bankruptcy, BUT they can not REPORT that charge-off if it happens AFTER the bankuptcy. Negative reporting on discharged debts is a violation of the permanent injunction of the discharge.
The term negative is rather confusing. If the account did not have a balance it would not have been included in the bankruptcy. Any account included in a bankruptcy will remain on the report for the requred length of time, open accounts would be seven years, they will be marked included in bankruptcy. The BK accounts listing will remain for 10.
Write a letter of dispute to the credit repository. Include copies of your drivers license, social security card, utility bill, and your bankruptcy papers showing the referenced account. Ask that the bureau remove all notations other than "included (or discharged) in bankruptcy". Request a complete credit report after the account has been corrected. Repeat, as needed.
If your bankruptcy was "discharged" in 2000, then yes. Discharged means it is done! If you are still in a chapter 13 bankruptcy, still paying the trustee--then no. If the trustee finds out about the CD, it will cause lot of problems.
If you are referring to a credit report the answer is NO. If the query is in reference to a creditor attempting to collect a debt that was included in the bankruptcy, the answer is also NO!2If the creditor is listed in the bankruptcy, No. If they continue to pursue it you can contact your attorney request a copy of the matrix filed in your bankruptcy, and either advise them of the page number the creditor is listed on and that it was discharged. Or, you can file a complaint with the federal court in your area and have it investigated.
Yes, they can. The real question is, why would they want to? It costs creditors to place (and to update) information on the credit bureaus. If their debt was discharged through your bankruptcy, the only entries they should be making are to "clean up" the account and mark it as "discharged" or "included in bankruptcy". All other negative information needs to be removed from the tradeline so that this no longer impacts your credit score. (You are already taking a huge hit to your score for the legal action) If this has not happened, perhaps this particular creditor has not been notified that their account was discharged. Either you or your attorney needs to send the creditor a copy of your bankruptcy papers and request that they update the credit bureaus accordingly.
