If you stopped paying in 2006 that would be your DoFD for the debt.

If you also had a judgment against you in 2008, that is a separate issue.  Those can report for 7 years from date filed, or the governing SOL of your state.

Hello,

There might be something else to think about. It is not just the SOL that we should consider. Its the fact that if they the collection account gets

sold to another collection agency then they will report it to your credit report as well and you will get an additional hit. I had this happen to me. However, what

I did was pay the collection and then waited a month and disputed it. It came right off and I haven't heard from those collections again. 

It doesn't work that way all the time, but many times if the debt gets settled then they collectin agency has no motivation to verify the debt.

Hope this helps

If a CA sells an account to another CA, the first CA must delete their TL.

I'm not haunting or stalking you darlin - this just brought something else to my mind about "mutl-CA's"  & for my own reference so to speak.  Just to clarify, they must DELETE the TL or update it as TS/Sold?  Would this be applicable to TL's that are bought/sold as well?  

Reason I ask is I've got 6 pos TL's that have been resold (literally) 10+ times and whenever each one gets it, they all have the same OLD open date, but they're also using a "reported since",  "DLR", & "DOS" as the month they acquire it.  While I understand FICO looks at date opened for AAoA, is FICO looking negatively at the "reported since" and/or "DOS/DLR"?  Everytime they're sold, I drop for about 2-3 months and then pop right back up.  Looking at my last few pulls, AAoA is being affected & mainly within the last 6 months.  This kinda infers FICO is not happy if AAoA changes for the worse.  It may help the mix, history, etc. (double-reporting of TL's in one of the sales), but I'm curious - and should find out for my own good - if these multiple re-sells *should* have a different date in order to ensure proper scoring. 

EG:  If a derog goes by DOFD for scoring & retention purposes, does a pos go by reported since/DOS/DLR?  Seems sort of odd, at face-value, to keep using the same "opened on" date but the others - that is a gray area.  If they can report that opened date as the true opened date, it just makes sense to bring over the history with it versus constantly dinging me for "new accounts".  I'm probably wrong as always but you'll set me straight!

Good points leading to good questions!

Just curious. ..what do you choose as your reason for disputing?

Both of those are good standing accounts.  You don't want those deleted.

They also appear not to be collection accounts but OC accounts.

A CA does not report accounts in good standing nor do they affect your AAoA.

Positive accounts will generally stay on for 10 years once paid/closed.  The payment history at the bottom doesn't factor into your scores since they are positive, that is what is expected.  It's just the TL and the Age, when it was opened that factors into your AAoA.

**** DISREGARD - I DID NOT SEE SHOGUN'S RESPONSE UNTIL AFTER I POSTED THIS.  MY APOLOGIES AGAIN***

Right - I know I do NOT want them deleted at all & I do understand they are GOOD accounts & OC accounts.  Maybe I did not ask properly or I misstated something.  In the blue text, next to the payment history, each time they get resold, the PREVIOUS creditor remarks as TS/Sold (as expected) and all but one of them deletes the payment history.  Then, the NEW creditor starts reporting, as of the date acquired.  

The problem, as I am seeing it or NOT understanding it, is this leaves a "gap" of payment history - if you look at these two TL's in that example, you'll see it was "reported since" and then the closed date with absolutely NO shred of history.  In the NEW TL, you'll see the "Reported Since" which starts, obviously, at the time they acquire & start reporting.  Where did my PRIOR history go?  Why did that purge upon a TS/Sold to a different lender?  Those are the questions at hand - hopefully I have cleared this up some to where you're understanding (or I'm understanding LOL).  

It just doesn't make any logical sense when I look at other closed TL's that have the payment histories still attached to them - but NOT with these particular sets of TS/Sold loans.  I didn't want to inundate this thread with my data & if need be will PM you the way they're appearing (or start a new thread since your a Mod & gotta listen to what you say!).  The ONLY ones that DO retain my payment histories are the ones that I contacted myself, told them of this, faxed a copy of the TL to the person I was working with, and she had the entire loan's history re-inserted for the life of the loan, and apologized that it "purged" that upon closure by transfer/sold.  

The way I'm seeing it, when you look at ALL of the TL's that are bought/sold/bought/sold/bought/sold, having just an "Open" "Closed" and "No Data" showing means there is NO history (hence "No Data") attached just as the one lender re-inserted for me in the last paragraph.  In my mind, this is basically reflecting "WE bought it, WE sold it, WE Closed it, and we have no history" since the payment histories just "vanish".. If FICO or other lenders "assume" nothing but on-time history, even though it is visually missing, then that's fine w/me!!!  Thanks again Guiness and my apologies for these confusions I caused.

I didn't see this until after I replied to Guiness' post.  It kinda freaks one out when you see 2+ years of positive history just "vanish" upon a TS/Sold scenario - espeically when they're back to back to back to back.  Least they ALL have the same "Open" date so AAoA is not affected.  

Thanks Shogun as well.  My apologies for the redunant questions/replies.  This answers the question(s).  As long as it does NOT matter to FICO or anyone else for the matter that there is "No Data" for payment histories, I'm FINE!

Hope you have a good start to your week too!
