Based on the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 1681c as it relates to dismissed or withdrawn bankruptcies, the law clearly states from " date of adjudication '' or " date of order for relief ''. 
A bankruptcy dismissed or withdrawn no longer exists and the case filed was never adjudicated. Accordingly, Section 1681 ( a ) ( 5 ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act states the bankruptcy reference must be deleted from my credit report. I referenced the law in my letter to the credit bureau and they have refused to remove items from my credit report.
