Consumer Narrative
I filed for XXXX XXXX bankruptcy in XXXX, XXXX. I had a credit card account with XXXX at the time and the card was included in the bankruptcy. My plan of reorganization was approved in XXXX, XXXX and payments began in XXXX, XXXX. I made all required payments to XXXX per the plan. Once payments stopped, in XXXX of XXXX, XXXX began reporting missed payments and changed the status of the card to delinquent and in collections with the major credit bureaus. They now report that I have missed payments since XXXX, XXXX. They have also used a collection agency, XXXX XXXX, to attempt to collect this debt that was satisfied per the plan of reorganization. I have disputed this inaccurate information with XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax providing bankruptcy documentation as evidence. XXXX also received all of the relevant bankruptcy documents while the case was open since they were a named creditor. Because of this, my credit score continues to suffer and I am unable to repair my credit as afforded by my bankruptcy petition that was filed almost 6 years ago. I was also denied an application for a student loan and a rental lease for an apartment with this account being specifically listed as the reason. I also have spent more than {$1500.00} on legal counsel to resolve this already.
