I have worked my butt off to resurrect my credit score from the dungeons of the netherworld. I have made all of my payments on time for over 4 years. I had one collection that has aged off. Heck, I even got Cap1 to remove a late payment mark! Below is my only baddie left with HFC. It was a pact with the devil from the get go. I didn't have money for Christmas and I went hog wild. As you can see it was opened 12/05. I just wanted to get this demon out of my back pocket so I offered them a lump settlement to "go away." They accepted.
I am still foggy about how long this stays on your credit file as a detriment to a higher credit score. I know the number is 7 years...but from when? This is the only info I have so your opinions are welcome.
Secondly, I am under the impression that Cap1 bought out HFC. How do I find out who is in charge of this account? If it's Cap1 then that's awesome because I have an angel in my pocket in regards to them. I would like to get this removed as it is my only negative remaining.
Please advise
