Starting journey, any help is greatly appreciated!

Hello.

I am currently starting my rebuliding journey, we had some financial issues in 2010-2012 and it is still haunting us. We have opened new lines of credit, and keeping those managed very well. Have not had a late payment or anything negative since 2014. I am trying to see if I should start sending GW letters, wait until negatives fall off over the next year, or if I really have to just wait it all out to correct itself. 

 

Here is an example of a few accounts, I didnt want to list everything because the advice given can be used for the rest of the issues as well. I dont want to bore anyone. LOL

Charged off account

 

The dates of late payments vary between CRA, how is that handled in terms of GW letters to CRA and OC?

 

How is a chargeoff handled? Is there really no hope since a balance is still owed? Should I contact them to try to settle it, or will it fall off within the 7 year timeframe? The last activity on the above Chase account is 2012, however 90 day late payments are going into 2015 when the account was already charged off. 

 

Any help would be so apprecitated. I know it is going to be a long road, and I am willing to put the time and effert into it, however not sure where to start.

 

Thanks again!!

Re: Starting journey, any help is greatly appreciated!

In order to know when items will be excluded, you need the DoFD (EQ) or estimated date of removal (TU/EX). Date of Last Activity/Status Date doesn't matter for this. Lates will fall off 7 years after the late occurred. GW letters for the lates, possible EE for charge offs, depending upon the DoFD and bureau.

Re: Starting journey, any help is greatly appreciated!

Thank you for the info. Chase is showing on EQ a removal of 7/12. No date is listed for HC Processing or Comenity. The field is blank. Chase is showing on EX a removal oif 8/17. No date is listed for HC Processing or Comenity. The field is blank. Chase is showing on TU a removal date of 9/17. No date for HC or Comenity. If the field is blank on my annual credit report for removal date and or DoFD how will they know to remove the item? Should I dispute? Also, why is Chase showing different dates for each agency? Sorry to be a pain, I am a real rookie and trying to learn the ropes.

Re: Starting journey, any help is greatly appreciated!

Is that account with no dates closed or open on the reports? TU will usually do EE's up to 6 months early (so call next month for Chase), EX about 2-3 months early (Start calling in May for Chase) and EQ 1 month early. Is the 7-12 for Chase the DoFD or a typo?

They are listed as closed. Would it matter if it was listed as open ( only wondering since I have other accounts I just didnt list all of them).

It was a typo, it is the DoFD date of 7/12.
