Law firm-owned receivables
The law firm owns the debt and retains the signed agreement and records supporting the amount due.
BK Aftermath • Your next chapter
Your firm owns the debt.
We support the reporting process.
BK Aftermath is developing a third-party credit-data reporting administration service for bankruptcy law firms. Participating firms retain ownership of genuine attorney-fee receivables; our proposed role is validation, Metro 2 support, quality control, and dispute coordination under approved arrangements.
A stronger way forward
Accuracy starts with a real agreement.
Our approach centers on accurate reporting of legally eligible bankruptcy attorney-fee payment obligations, not promises of credit-score improvement or manufactured payment history.
02
Actual payment histories
Payments, reversals, balances, and due dates must be verified against actual ledger records.
03
Bureau-approved furnishing
Reporting requires an accepted account classification and authorized furnisher and processor relationship.

Critical eligibility standards
Signed payment plans are not automatically reportable.
Before furnishing, the creditor and BK Aftermath must verify actual contract terms, bankruptcy filing dates, legal enforceability, ownership, and the bureau-approved account classification. Prepetition Chapter 7 obligations, valid postpetition agreements and Chapter 13 matters require distinct review. Accurate unfavorable information may also be reportable; credit score increases are never guaranteed.
Frequently asked questions
Questions are part of the process.
Can attorney-fee plans be reported after bankruptcy?
Not automatically. Each obligation requires review for enforceability, bankruptcy timing, account classification, and bureau acceptance. Prepetition Chapter 7 fee obligations may be dischargeable.
Will BK Aftermath guarantee an increase in my credit score?
No. No particular credit score, financing approval, or timeline can be guaranteed. Any reporting of account information must reflect real agreements and substantiated payment activity.
Who owns the attorney-fee account?
The participating law firm retains its receivable. BK Aftermath proposes to act as a contracted third-party reporting administrator, not as the creditor, a law firm, or a credit bureau.
