If you have an account that is showing negative and it was included in a bankruptcy can you have the negative account removed or does it stay there and count as two negatives?

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.


What does adverse accounts mean?

An Adverse account means a delinquent account. An account that has not received on time monthly payments, or payments at all.


Can creditors classify an account as a charge-off because it was included in a chapter 7 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.


Will your credit report only show a discharged bankruptcy or will it also show all the accounts included in the bankruptcy?

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.


Are all included accounts removed from your credit report ten years after a bankruptcy?

The accounts affected by your BK filing should drop-off after seven years, under the normal course of business. You will want to ensure that they correctly show "Discharged through Bankruptcy." If they do not, you should dispute them, because they are adding to your injury and double-counting against you. If the CRA cannot verify the status of the account within 30 days, the account could come off sooner. Be diligent in monitoring your report after bankruptcy to ensure that all accounts are correctly reported. Errors can work in your favor. Also, be sure to keep copies of all of your bankruptcy documents in case you need to prove an item was indeed included in your petition. Good luck!
