A discharge can change enforceability of eligible debts, but treatment depends on the bankruptcy case and account. Use your discharge order and schedules.
Practical next step
Compare account remarks and balances with court and creditor records. Seek bankruptcy counsel for case-specific rights and dispute factual report errors separately.
Verify the result
Keep the original report or statement, your supporting records, and any response. Compare the same account and dates after the next update. Accurate information generally cannot be removed just because it affects a score.
