Why Is This Not On My Credit Report

I owed $36,000 to one of the major credit cards.  Due to a divorce, it defaulted.  I didn't pay on it for several months and finally it was turned over to a collection company.

 

I sent them a Debt Validation Letter. I received copies of three months statments - just the first page.

 

I ignored them and a year later.......nothing.

 

Until the other day when someone has evidently bought the debit from them. 

 

I have lots of questions about how to proceed......but thats for a different day.

 

My question is.......why is NONE of this on any of my reports.

 

No mention of the card ever existing.  No late payments.  No first collection group.......no second one.  Nothing

 

Any ideas?

Re: Why Is This Not On My Credit Report

Is the debt in your name?  Also, does this lender have your current address?

I'm not sure which of our names the card was in (mine or my ex wife) and she won't talk to me.

Yes. They sent a letter to my current address....and so did the last collection agency.

Re: Why Is This Not On My Credit Report

If the dewbt does not have your name or ssn on the account it would explain why it is not on your credit report. You can also look at the info from the DV if you still have it.

Don't assume that it has to show up.  A debt doesn't cease to exist just because it isn't on your credit reports.

 

No idea why the original account doesn't show on your reports but you and the original creditor would be the ones best equipped to answer that question.  We'd just be speculating.
