What can I do regarding suspension of credit reporting?

Answered by attorney Marc S Stern (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at The Law Office of Marc S. Stern
File a RESPA Request showing the payments and requesting confirmation that they were made. You might be able to use a statement. Then contest the record with all of the credit reporting companies. If the lender doesn't contest, the record gets changed. If they do, then they have an FCRA problem.

How do I reopen a Chapter 7 bankruptcy?

Michael Jay Berger
Answered by attorney Michael Jay Berger
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Offices of Michael Jay Berger
To reopen a bankruptcy case, you need to file a Motion to Reopen and you need to pay the Court fee. Before you do this, you should consult with an experienced bankruptcy attorney to see if it is needed. Your question states that the creditor is trying to sue you after you included the creditor in the bankruptcy. Under these circumstances, you should be able to show the creditor a copy of the schedule listing the creditor and a copy of the discharge order and then get the creditor to go away.
