I've read a lot here about how the impact of past due payments and derogatory indicators have less impact with time. Most of the conversation centers around the "anniversary dates". I've always taken that to mean one-year, two-year, etc.
This morning I got an EQ SW Alert about a score change:

The odd thing is that I can't figure out what past due payment or derogatory indicator this might be.
I've been actively working on cleaning up my report for about two months now and most of the negative information has been deleted from the report. The only negatives that remain are:
Account1: 30, 60 90 day late in Dec - Feb 2006
Account2: 30, 60, 90, 120, 120, Charge Off in Nov 2003-Apr 2004
Account3: 90, 120, 90 in Feb, Mar, Aug 2002
90, 120, 120 in Aug-Oct 2003
90, 120, 90 in Mar, Apr, Sep 2004.
Account4: Same negatives as Account3.
Does anyone have any insight as to what might be going on here with the aging of negative information?
More Detail:
o All accounts report as "PAYS AS AGREED" except Account2 which reports as CHARGE-OFF (settled in full for less than full balance).
o Account1 and Account2 are revolving credit (Firestone and CapOne).
o Account3 and Account4 are both Sallie Mae student loans (a consolidated payment for two separate loans, so they are reporting it as two separate tradelines. anyone have ideas how to combat that?)
o Account1 is still open. The others are closed.

Account2: Charge Off Apr 2004- it is ignoring everything except the CO status
Account3: 120 Sep 2004.Account4: 120 Sep 2004.Your charge off just aged a year older -You did not list the open dates-

That's the other odd thing...EQ SW generated an alert on 6/1. It had been a week since the previous alert, so I assumed the one on 6/1 was SW doing its regular seven to ten day check. I was, quite honestly, shocked to see another alert in my inbox this morning. There was no credit alert, just the SW alert. I have no idea why it was checking again so soon after the last one. I was very happy to see a seven point increase that I wasn't anticipating.
I prior to 6/1, my last alert was 5/23. Seems like any aging would have been picked up by one of the early alerts. This appears to be something triggered in the last couple of days.
Anyone else have any other thoughts?
I am confused.
From recent posts, it is being implied that if lates are in a consecutive monthly string, then FICO only looks at the last, and thus most serious, derog in scoring. That makes sense to me, for one compounds upon another, and obviously the later and more serious derog in the string will score more negatively, so it inherently takes into account the affect of the prior derogs in the same string.
But what if the same account then has a later derog that is not a part of the prior consec string? I would presume that logically, both strings would score separately. Is that the understanding?
And what if any prior derog string then matures into a collection chargeoff. The collection then appears by way of a separate report by the CA to the CRA. How would FICO then be able to discontinue scoring of the prior late derogs upon which the collection report was ultimately provided? How would it know? Would not lthe prior late payment derogs as well as the CA be both scored?
