BofA and JPMorgan make agreement on consumer bankruptcies

• Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) and JPMorgan (NYSE:JPM), along with Citigroup (NYSE:C) and Synchrony Financial (NYSE:SYF) are being sued for their charming practice of using fancy footwork to keep debts alive on consumers' credit reports after those debts have been legally eliminated in bankruptcy.
• Both BofA and JPMorgan have agreed to update borrowers' credit reports within the next three months to reflect the fact that those debts are no longer there. Last year Synchrony agreed to a similar move at least on a temporary basis.
