A CA or factoring compnay can show the worst delinquency on an account but they cannot add lates to it.
Where they to be listing themselves properly as a CA, they would not have the option to post lates. I had a CA, listing as factoring company, adding monthly lates, listing as an open revolving account and even changed the DOFD. It is not the process of the CAs listing as a factoring company that causes false information, it's what they do with it. It's a loophole in the system that should be addressed.

Oh, this company tried to sue me on an old debt past the SOL in my state of California. I hired a consumer law attorney which helped rid of the whole account from all of my credit reports, and also got my case dismissed! Hire a debt attorney to deal with these folks, it only costed me $1500 and the lawyer accepts payment plans.
Starting Score: 623In California, I thought there was a law about filing for a judgement outside of SOL. I'll have to look into that.

For sure! I dealt with Zwicker and Associates on a previous case however I was stupid and ended up just settling it, instead of fighting it. I only had a parelegal help me with court documents. This time I hired help of a debt attorney. For sure, the SOL in California is 4 years from the last date of the last payment, I believe- or something of the sort.
Asset Acceptance tried to sue me based on the notion that I have an OPEN BOOK account, but the account was closed since 2007 and last paid that year.
They tried to change their attorney and back off - after they finally noticed this is an old account.
