Bell Atlantic Corp is under review by Standard & Poor’s Corp for possible upgrade of its debt ratings following collapse of its plans to acquire Tele-Communications Inc, and the ratings agency says it may still upgrade the debt of the company and related entities following Bell Atlantic’s announcement of plans to sell Bell Atlantic TriCon Leasing Corp’s assets to Greyhound Financial Corp, a GFC Financial Corp unit. The sale does not include TriCon’s leveraged lease portfolio, it noted.
