Case Summary:Chase Bank USA is putting up $11.5 million to settle a class action alleging that it did not update its reports to credit agencies when accounts sold to debt buyers were discharged in Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceedings. The complaint claims that the account holders’ credit reports continued to reflect that the debts were sold or charged off, negatively affecting their ability to get credit.
