How bad is it affecting?

The 2 paid chargeoffs that I have with the same CU, (the one that is NOT responding to GW emails!) one from 2005 for $19.00 overdraft, (really?yeah,hmph) and the other from 2006. How bad are they affecting my report/score??

Re: How bad is it affecting?

People on this forum have reported a 25 to 40 point bump to their scores when a 7 year old collection has aged off their reports. Of course YMMV.

THAT would be awesome. Though it does look like I still have quite a bit before they age off. Smiley Sad   And the CU is not responding to my GW efforts.

Re: How bad is it affecting?

Are they the only baddies on your report?

 

Shouldn't the CO from 2005 be aging off soon?

They are definitely on life support.  Should be aging off.

Re: How bad is it affecting?

Other than the dispute with EX that is due results on the 12th, they are the only baddies on there. They are both paid. I would have thought at least the 2005 one would be gone, but it's still hanging on. Smiley Sad

Re: How bad is it affecting?

I beleive the longest it can stay on your report is 7.5 years from the date of first default. Is there a date specified on your report? You could then determine when it will age off.

Re: How bad is it affecting?

+1 there should be an expected deletion date posted.  That way you'd know when it would fall off.
