One thing to look at if you stopped paying your credit cards before your filing of Chapter 7. Especially if you stopped paying them a while before filing.
Most likely those accounts went to transfer/sold status before you filed. Now hopefully the OC sold the debt and didn't charge-off it.
My friend had 4 out of his 7 cards that he dischaged go to transfer/sold statust before he filed.
The credit card could not report the card has IIB with a derogatory, instead they have to report it has 'transfer/sold with 0 balance'. THere is no derogatory notation on the report. The credit card companies were originally reporting it has IIB.
If you have a number of cards you stopped paying on 6-9 months before filing it would be worth a call to the OC to ask them when or if the debt sold. then inform them that it's a violation of sec. 524 of the automatic stay to report it has IIB if it was sold before the filing date.
You may get some derogatories deleted.
