I have 2 questions.
1. Do bank account debts and history not affect the credit score? Do they report to ChexSystems instead of FICO? or both? Am I just lucky this hasn't hit my credit report yet?
2. If I pay the CA and not the original debt holder (the bank), will that get reported to chexsystems improving my score with them?
Thanks... I'm a newbie here so sorry if this has already been addressed somewhere.
1. Yes they do affect it. They often report to both. You are lucky.
2) Paid will make a differnce if you go to open a new account. You can also pull your report from Chexsytems and see what it says.
