Hi to all, after checking my EQ report I noticed that a creditor is reporting this old charge off credit card in a way that doesn't make sense to me. They reporting that they close the account in 09/2006, but the DOFD is 01/2007. How can the date that they close the account be before of the date of first delinquency? Can someone enlighten me? Thanks in advance.
If they closed it in 2006 doesn't mean they charged it off then. They just closed it so you wouldn't use it. Then in Jan 2007 they charged it off.
Ahhh! Thank you for enlighten me, make sense now, sorry for the waste of time!
Definitely not a waste of time. It was actually a good, valid question.
The post related to a DOFD on the account that is after the date closed, not a charge-off after the date closed.
As such, the scenario does not make sense to me.
Was the account delinquent when they closed it? If so, then the DOFD at the time of account closing must have preceded the closing date.
A DOFD can only be reset if the account is later brought back into good-standing, and a new first delinquency occurs. Was the account paid back into good standing after it was closed?
Additionally, even if a DOFD is reset, the DOFD that applies to exclusion of a charge-off must, as set forth in section 605(c), have been the first delinquency that immediately preceded the charge-off, not a new DOFD that might have occured if the account was brought back into good standing after the charge-off.
The reporting does not appear accurate to me unless the account was brought back into good-standing after closed, a new first delinquency occured, and the charge-off was after that new DOFD. Not likely on a closed account........
I have had a CC closed because I was late making payments over the years. They closed my account because I was late several times not because I had been late in the last 30 days or 60 days.
After they closed my account i then stopped making payments and they CO the account after several months.
A creditor can close your account for any reason, not just late payments.
