| I have a CA account that has been on my reports since 4-03. The SOL is nearing, and they are becoming aggressive. I am now able to pay, and would like your thoughts on a FICO score drop. It is my only bad mark, and my scores are 710+. So, am I also going to pay with points? If so how many? I am afraid it will be huge. Thanks for your help. |

Why would you bother if it is so close to the statute of limitations? Are they going to file a summons? You will still have time to work it out after the summons is filed if that is the case.
You may want to see what they will do up to the point of the sol expiring, they may file a summons, but you will have time to file your answer and set up a payment plan even after they file a summons, and if they don't file a summons their loss.
I know from experience that if you pay it off it still stays on your report for seven years., paid or not..... |

if they are getting aggressive they may sue you which will KILL your CS you have until 10/10 for them to sue you. I would advise you to settle the debt with them and try for a PFD. Paying the debt wont cost you any points but, if they dont remove the mark you wont gain many either

Hi 4mycredit
If they threaten to file summons, pay off the dues. You can come to a repayment agreement with your CA to repay off your debt because a judgment against you can lower your score by 50 to 100 points. But if your SOL has expired don't try to pay it back because if you pay even a small amount after your SOL expiry, the SOL will rewind and the CA can pull you to the court.

If at all possible try and pay it before a judgement against you, you do not want to do this type of damage to your score.

| Just curious, if anyone knows. If you have a 'Charge-Off' on your CR, how many points can this drop your score? |

it depends upon the age of the listing. An old account can take 20-40 points while a new one can a bomb your credit as much as 100 points depending on your credit history

| Gosh...that IS alot of points. Seems like when you 'take care' of a debt, another one comes along. LOL I DO have a car being financed right now..and keeping up with the payments, I may add. Will this bring my score up, from time to time? I know fixing your credit doesn't happen over nite. |

| It should bring up your score if you build a good payment history with this payment. |
