What should a bankruptcy look like on a credit report? I have some entries, which show as “included in a bankruptcy”, and others, which were also included in the bankruptcy, that show notations for 30/60/90 days late and account balances.
Okay, I’ve never filed a bankruptcy (knock on wood), so I’ve never actually seen one listed on a credit report. I did a bit of hunting and found a site called “411 Bankruptcy”, which states: “After the discharge, you are entitled underfederal law to have the balance of each discharged debt reported as zero. The history of delinquencies can be reported, but the balance must be zero. If it is not so reported, dispute the debt.”

Note: I know very little about bankruptcies, but I believe the key here may be the discharge of the bankruptcy.

It’s that time again. This year I’ve got a whole long list of resolutions. That’s right. New years is just two days away. I’ve got my list. Do you have yours? If you are like more than half of all American’s the answer is no.
Eight years ago I moved to Salt Lake with very little. My son, my computer and my car. The rest of what I had fit in my car. Clothing. Nothing else. That was it. Six months later we still hadn’t accumulated much more. So it was a devastating loss when the car broke down that last time. With no money to fix it I had to let it go. My only option was public transportation.
You know you’re in trouble when you turn on the cold water faucet and what comes out is hot water for the first three or four minutes. Its supposed to be 102F here today. That’s pretty hot. And I have two cats. Complete with fur. How do they stay cool in the summer? We always hear how someone left a dog in a car and they had a heat stroke but what about our cats?
What do beans and left over salad have in common? Both can be tossed into a burrito for a cheap, filling meal.
Plasma donation. I does it.
