It is especially important to check the accuracy of your credit report after the discharge of a bankruptcy. Many creditors stop reporting any information on an account once they receive notice that the account has been included in a bankruptcy filing. As a result of this, once the bankruptcy is discharged, those accounts still report as being in collection, charge off or some other similar status. Accounts reported in this manner will generally have a more detrimental effect on your credit score than if they were reported as discharged in bankruptcy.
