I have an account sold by a creditor to Collection Agency.

The account shows on my tri report as to the original creditor but not the agency.

The account shows as "Charge Off" "Cahrge Off BAd Debt" and so on by the creditor.

If I pay off the debt with the CA...does the creditor make any notes on their side or does it still show as charge off etc.....

Any thing I can do about it?????


Is that 7yrs from 1st late payment....
date of payoff.....
or orgination date.


Is this a fuzzy date? How can I id what the date should be?

Is the first date of delinquency the first tim eit was 30 days late.....or the last....

The charged off item will stay on your credit for seven years. This begins from the date of your first delinquency.

The SOL will be calculated from your last payment date according to your state laws. Call the original creditor and get the status of your account. They may have your file in their system unless the debt is sold off. In case, the account is sold, the creditor will report a zero balance to the bureaus and the collection agency will report the latest payments after receiving your payments.

That is what I thought. It could be that when I pulled my report, it would have been 2 soon to have reported as sold. I found out that HSBC had charged off the account when I was attempting to make a payment on the website. It refused access and told me to call them. I will be getting in the mail shortly another report to verify that it has been done. Thank you!
