Is Cap One Reaging my account and do I need to get an attorney?
Background : My Cap One fell off all reports this last month ( each report varied between 1/2009 and 6/2009 date). Score now over 700!! Now mysteriously, I get a huge point ding and I discover a BRAND NEW chargeoff with same account number and same balance with a NEW DOFD as of 1/2009! Here is all the info I pulled from equifax. Two opened dates, huh? HELP

Date Opened: 2002/06

Account Number: Same account as earlier
Current Status: CHARGE-OFF
Credit Limit: $2,000
Date Opened: 2002/06 This is the date you opened your Cap One account
Balance: $2,845
Date Reported: 01/2009 Date reported by Cap One to CRA
Amount Past Due: $2,845
Date of Last Activity: N/A
Date Major Delinquency First Reported: 01/2009 (previously 2/2002) Not really important and is not the DOFD
Charge Off Amount: $1,290
Date of First Delinquency: 08/2002 This is the date you need to worry about. Fall off date is 7 -7.5 years from this date. So it could fall off as late as early as Aug 2009 as late as Feb 2010.
Comments: Charged off account,
Unless the DOFD has changed it is not reaging. It apparently came off your report early, which happens sometimes. Cap One can and will more than likely report until the last possible day.
Do you have any reports that show a different DOFD?
I'm not seeing the two opened dates....looks like it was opened June 2002.
Do you know when the account was actually opened?
Is this beyond SOL?
I figured out the 2 dates. My bad (I was freaking out over the new DOFD, I did not realize the reverse in dates) .BUT the DOFD has absolutely been changed on each report from 02/2002 to 08/2002. I have several original copies from each agency with the 02/2002 date. New report says DOFD is 08/2002.
Yes it is out of SOL. It looks like I opened it in 2001.
Unless you know what the DOFD should be, it is hard to say if they have re-aged.
It is clear they have changed the DOFD, but was it wrong to begin with or wrong now? You'll only know if you know the actual DOFD.
There is only 6 months between the two DOFD, which FCRA states the CRTP begins 6 months(180 days) after the actual DOFD.
Seeing as you have your past reports, I would dispute with the CRA stating "this account was previously reported with a FCRA Compliance Date of 02/2002 and was removed from my report, now it is reinserted with a new FCRA Compliance Date"
Do you have copies of recent reports that show this item gone?
