ITEMS FALLIING OFF CREDIT REPORT

[ficorenavator]

I was recently going over my EQ CR and wanted to know when would a couple of TL fall off my report.  DOLA is 12-2002 and 10/2002.  Both are CC accounts that I paid in settlement with the CC company.

Items fall off 7 - 7.5 years after the DOFD.  You can call EQ and ask them what the FCRA compliance date is.

If you settled with the CC and the account was NOT  closed or COd  before,  then the DOLA would be used for a drop date.    If it was COd or closed before you settled with the CC  then it will drop 7- 7,5 years from DOFD as guiness said.

I am kinda confused, which is kinda normal!

My understanding is that the FCRA Compliance Date/DOFD reported to a CRA is set by the first date of a 30-day delinquency in any chain of current delinquencies. 

If the account is then paid as agreed, a new DOFD cannot be reported unless a new delinquency then occurs.  IMHO, I see no provision for resetting the FCRA Compliance Date based on DOLA payment activity.

I think HD was referring to an account that was "NOT" closed. Meaning you let a CC go bad, but it hasn't been closed by the issuer, and you pay it bringing everything current via a settlement which results in the closure, then the 7 yr clock starts on that DOLA date or the date you settled.

I still dont get it.  If a previously delinquent account is brought back into good standing, a new DOFD could only be reset if a further delinquency then occurs. Old DOFDs are not erased or reset until a new account delinquency occurs. They remain as the current FCRA Compliance Date until a new chain of delinquencies occurs.

I see no impact of a subsequent DOLA payment on DOFD reset.

When an account has not been CO'd or sent to collections.....there is no DOFD.

Just having lates doesn't set a DOFD.

When the OP settled, the CRTP begin that date.

If the account was already CO'd, sent to collections, etc when settled, then the original DOFD would stand.
