Hi everyone, I'm just starting the process of trying to improve my credit score and am a complete novice. Forgive me if my questions seem common sense.

I have all three of my credit reports and am trying to go through everything.

First one I'm going through is Transunion. I'm finding one of the adverse accounts confusing.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's a Chase Credit Card. Credit limit was $2500, high balance was $82. The account was open for what looks like 5 months maximum, from late '06 to early '07.

Pay Status: Paid or Paying as Agreed.
Account Type: Revolving
Response: Individual

It states that it was closed by consumer.

Than it looks like this:

Late Payments
7 months Last 7

>1> 0 0 Months
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

1) How could my payment be late 7 months when according to the dates, the account was only open 5 months?

2) Why does it say "Paid or paying as agreed" if I was 7 months late?

If you could help me understand this listing and have any tips for getting it removed it would be wonderful. Unfortunately, I don't remember which card they are even talking about.

This would be on my record until 2014.

Thanks in advance!!

You have stated that the credit report states that the account was closed by the consumer. In such a situation, you cannot be late for the last 7 months! You should contact TransUnion and dispute the entry. You can check out a sample dispute letter from the given page: http://www.debtconsolidationcare.com/letters/sample26.html

If you have paid off the late payments and are current on all your other payments, then you can go ahead and send them a goodwill letter to remove the entry from your credit report.
