Credit
Reporting and Bankruptcy
A NorthLegal Webinar
(Presented
February 25, 2010) (Appx. 90 min)

How
should a creditor report an account after the debtor files bankruptcy?
Creditors are being told they must report some debts
with zero balances, others with reduced balances, and still
others with full balances.
Sometimes creditors are being told
they are obligated to report accounts as being "included
in bankruptcy,"
but on other occasions they are told they are prohibited from
reporting accounts that way. Often
these demands are made with little or no legal support.
What is the right way to report an account that is in
bankruptcy? An account that has been discharged? Is
there a "right way" at all? |
| During this
program, attorney Eric North will talk with participants about — |
|
Learn
exactly what the Bankruptcy Code and the Fair Credit Reporting
Act have to say about they way you report accounts in bankruptcy
cases!
|
| • |
What the Bankruptcy Code
says — and doesn't say — about credit reporting. |
|
| • |
How recently adopted
regulations relating to the Fair Credit Reporting Act may affect
the way you should handle discharged debts. |
|
| • |
What we can learn from
court decisions about credit reporting of bankrupt accounts. |
|
| • |
What important credit
reporting issues haven't been discussed in bankruptcy court decisions
and why those issues matter. |
| • |
What factors should creditors
take into consideration when formulating policy and when making
decisions regarding individual accounts. |
|
and
much more!
