Bankruptcy Dispute
Disputing facts such as filing date, balance of liabilities, type of bankruptcy, social security
number, discharge dates on debts, type of accounts and even docket dates are a lot harder to
investigate. There are a few ways to dispute bankruptcy listings that may work.
First, remember the credit reporting agencies verify records through a third-party database such
as PACER or LEXIS NEXIS and some even verify through other creditors. Even though credit
reporting agencies will list the bankruptcy court as the “furnisher” of information, no one at the
credit reporting agency actually contacts the bankruptcy courthouse where the proceeding was
filed.
