I have a debt that was charged off by a credit card company. The date that it was opened was in 6/00 and I never paid on it. It happened when I was younger and unemployed.

My question is when did the date for the SOL start? On the date it was opened 6/00? Or the date that it was closed/charged off by the CC company?


Well I tried to dispute it and get the CA to remove their part. I got the response back from Experian and it showed the outcome as updated. The funny thing is that when I look over the information and compare it to my last report, the only thing that has changed is the amount.

Another thing that bothered me is I saw this statement: "This account is scheduled to continue on record until Dec 2010." How can that be possible? The original debt with the CC company is 6/00.

According to the CA the date opened was 3/02 and the reported since date is 6/04. Would this count as re-aging? I'm at a loss as what to do.

You may want to be careful how hard you push here. Since you opened the account and never made any payment towards it they could try and charge you with fraud. They could claim you had no intentions of paying when you open the account and used their funds for personal gain. SOL for Credit reporting is 7 years from date of last activity. SO if you opened the account in June 2000, and didn't make payment in duly , that would be first delinquency, the account would probably have been charged off sooner as it was a newer account, however typically accounts are charged off after 90 days delinquency which would be September , so the SOL under the FCRA would be sept 2007. You could dispute it stating you believe the account was improperly re-aged,but it will still remain n your report till September 2007.

Things can stay on your credit report for up to ten years. It depends on what state you live in and how much the collection agency it was sent to wants to collect on it.

The account it would typically charge off 180 days after your first missed payment.

The SoL does not resolve you of responsibility to pay for somehting you took. It only protects you against wage garnishment and judgements.
