    Precision and timing

    Bankruptcy affects balances, statuses, and future reporting. Coordinate with counsel and follow CRA guidance to avoid double-reporting or suppressing lawful information.

    Ensure reporting clearly distinguishes pre-petition debts from post-petition activity. Avoid implying new credit obligations that do not exist.
