[CLIENT FULL NAME] [CLIENT ADDRESS LINE1] [CLIENT CITY], [CLIENT STATE] [CLIENT ZIP] DOB: [CLIENT DOB] | SSN (Last 4): [CLIENT SSN LAST4] Date: [TODAY] [RECIPIENT NAME] [RECIPIENT ADDRESS BLOCK] RE: MANDATORY CORRECTION OF POST-BANKRUPTCY CREDIT REPORTING - Account #[ACCOUNT ACCOUNT NUMBER MASKED] Dear Bankruptcy Compliance Department, I am writing to demand an immediate credit reporting correction regarding account #[ACCOUNT ACCOUNT NUMBER MASKED] with [ACCOUNT CREDITOR NAME]. BANKRUPTCY DISCHARGE INFORMATION: - Account Name: [ACCOUNT CREDITOR NAME] - Account Number: [ACCOUNT ACCOUNT NUMBER MASKED] - Case Number: [BANKRUPTCY CASE NUMBER] - Bankruptcy Court: [BANKRUPTCY COURT] - Chapter: [BANKRUPTCY CHAPTER] - Discharge Date: [BANKRUPTCY DISCHARGE DATE] CURRENT ILLEGAL REPORTING: Your company continues to report a non-zero balance of [ACCOUNT BALANCE], an amount past due, or an active delinquency status. LEGAL OBLIGATIONS (11 U.S.C. § 524 & 15 U.S.C. § 1681s-2): Under 11 U.S.C. § 524(a)(2), a discharge operates as an injunction against any act to collect, recover, or offset any discharged debt. Furthermore, official FTC and CFPB credit reporting guidelines confirm that reporting a balance or past-due amount on a discharged debt is false and misleading under the FCRA. The account MUST be updated across all credit reporting agencies to reflect: 1. Account Status: Included in Bankruptcy / Discharged; 2. Balance: $0; and 3. Amount Past Due: $0. Please correct this reporting immediately and notify Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. Sincerely, [CLIENT FULL NAME] Sent via Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested: [LETTER CERTIFIED NUMBER]
