I was wondering- I am in the process of cleaning up my credit reports.
When a collection agency buys the debt and begins to report it to the bureaus, does the 7 years apply from the date of last activity of the original creditor, and it doesn't start over when the collection agency starts to report it?
I have several entries on my credit reports that are from collection agencies, but I think that the 7 years are up if they cannot "start over" when they buy the debt.
Thanks!


Sure Granny!
Ok ur first date of deliquency is when u miss ur first payment. That date should NEVER change, no matter how many times ur debt is sold to CA's. Ur last date of deliquency stays the same.
That make sense? If not plz ask anything ud like to know and i'll try my best to explain it to ya.
:D

Sol for credit reporting is controlled by federal law and with the exception of New York,it states negative items remain on reports seven years from date of first major delinquency.New York state law removes theirs after only five. Nothing can change this date except for a rule 5000 reage by original creditor. In 2003 the amendment gave the original creditor a six month window dealing with chargeoffs so if they use this window it could be on report up to 7.5 years.All this information in posted in clear text in the Fair Credit Reporting Act at www.ftc.gov.
