No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
Call and ask for a supervisor. The max time it can report is 7.5 yrs from the accounts DoFD.
Only the creditor themselves can actually add the derogatory reporting of the CO, so it is apparent that EQ did actually treat as a dispute, and forwarded it to the crreditor, who then added the CO to be consistent with their reporting with the other two CRAs.
You could possibly assert that you did not file a dispute, and thus referral to the credtior was not necessary on the part of the CRA.
Howver, what is done is done, and the update provided by the creditor is accurate, so there is now no basis for disputing the update.
An unfortunate event, but I see no recourse to require deletion of the added, accurate reporting.

That makes sense robertEG. Obviously my Equifax score will take a nose dive?
If it was just showing as a late account and now its showing as a CO then yes the status date has come current and it will cause a Fico score drop.

Its only for one month and once its gone your Fico will recover. I had suggested that you call them again and ask to speak with a supervisor as you should be able to get an EE with only 1 month to go.
