Re: Question about age

I would talk to the CA and see if you can pay for delete, but even if that is not an option, I can't see applying for anything big without first paying that debt.

That's your DOFD, it's what sets the clocks for CRTP and SOL. so 06/2012 it was 2 years old.  It doesn't matter when the CA takes it over or reports it.
