DOLA, DOFD, SOL

DOFD is not the first date you were ever late on the account.

It is the date you went delinquent and never caught up prior to to charge off/collection/other similar action.

ok thanks for clearing that up I made this acct current and paid it off before it was supposed to be paid off. what date do i go by to see when it should fall off? it has 30/60 lates on it

It might be removed 7 years from date it was closed, since it was a negative account.

However, the lates will fall off one by one as they reach 7 years, and the account could end up being a positive account, which will report for 10 years from date closed.

When were the lates? When was it closed?
