Reporting In Collection After Bankruptcy Letter

Use this letter to dispute a Credit Bureau report of an account being In Collection after your bankruptcy has been discharged. Be sure that you attach a copy of the discharge papers and the list of creditors.

Similar to reporting money due after bankruptcy, a collection needs to be handled with the same process. Collection agencies won't update the account when discharged for the same reason as accounts with money due. These accounts are typically unsecured credit. Unsecured accounts will likely need more attention than secured. Use time wisely when correcting errors.
