I had a credit card w/ Victoria's Secret that I stopped paying on in 2005. The account was eventually sold to Asset Acceptance. Last year I was required to pay this debt off with Asset Acceptance in order to obtain a loan with another company. So I paid Asset. I have two questions, first- can Asset Acceptance report this for 7 years from the date they bought the accout and/or received payment from me or are they only allowed to report it on my credit for 7 years from the date I missed my first payment in 2005 when the account was still owned by Victoria's Secret?
My second question is, does the fact that the account status on my credit report shows it as Collections-paid close negatively impact my credit?
