Experian I see a closed account. Payment status: paid, was a charge off. I paid in full after the charge off either 2012 or 2013. It went c/o starting sep 2012. Under payment history , the little calendars it has FP (failed to pay) over April 2014.
I have just been waiting for it to fall off in 2019, while sending goodwill letters. Everything looks good except that Apr 2014 date, but I don't wanna mess anything up with a bad dispute incase it is marked correctly. I just don't think the FP should be under apr 2014, but should be under like 2012.
Edit: on main experian page, this is making it show as my last time since negative overall for all accounts as 2 years and 7 months, when that is not true.
FP is not a formal payment history code for a monthly late. It lacks any statement of the asserted level of any delinquency, and it thus incomplete.
It does connote an adverse item (i.e., delinquency).
I am unsure exactly how FICO handles a payment history posting that does not state the asserted level of delinquency.
I would make an informal call to the creditor and raise your question as to how you can have a derog when the account was previously paid and closed.
It is possible that the creditor will agree that it is a questionable/inaccurate reporting, and they will simply remove without any need for dispute.
I would at least obtain an explanation before pursuing formally.
