That is the way it works, the amount of the bad debt is reported.
I don't understand it either ( except that it is a law that they can) but I agree I have never thought it was right. But if you read here on this site long enough you see people who it happens to almost every week

Have you considered bankruptcy at this point?

I heard from someone on this board that filing a Chapter 13 bankruptcy costs $200 (plus any associated lawyer fees, but if you do the leg work yourself, perhaps you don't need a lawyer)

You can also hire a para legal for about 300 or so to merely fill in the forms. The only trouble is that if you have some non normal people you owe, they can file all sorts of motions, and counter motions, which you will not understand.

You can buy the forms online, or at most local office supply stores.

The next thing about this that has bothered me all day, why was it dismissed, I just hardly ever see cases dismissed unless there was some false info, or the fee was not paid in time ( you had to pay the court filing fee) or if you only filed the orginal form and did not include the admendment pages ( they can be filed after the first filing but have to be filed within so many days)

But in general even if you left off one lender, had some wrong figures on the forms, the court merely allows you to admend your filing.
Something just seems wrong, why was it dismissed, exactly what happened.
