Advice regarding 2 Charge-Off Accounts

Hi all,

I'm a newbie to the forum. I've found a lot of helpful information on this site so I thought I'd ask for a little advice.

My situation is that I ran into some financial problems a few years back and had to let 2 credit cards slide. These accounts have since been charged off and are now with 2 seperate collection agencies. I only receive calls/letters from one of the CA's (they handle just 1 of the accounts). The accounts show the Date of Last Activity as 6/2004 and 1/2005. I am in NC so the SOL on these accounts in 3 years so I still liable to be sued for the balance of both accounts...even though I've not received anything along these lines as of yet.

I know these 2 accounts are damaging to my credit (even though I have other currently open accounts that are in perfect standing and all other accounts in my history are perfect as well) but are they worth trying to resolve? This is not the best time as I am losing my job (after 8 years) as a result of company downsizing at the end of this month. The good news is that I am getting a pretty decent severance package. Assuming I can land a new job in the next few months, I was debating trying to use some of my severance package money to resolve these charge off accounts by negotiating a payoff. The balances for each are around $8K so I unless they will take less than $5K for both ($2500 each), I probably can only afford to take care of 1 account. I can work on the other account down the road once I get back on my feet and get some money saved up.

Is it worth it? How much will this help get my credit going back in the right direction?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Oops...that was me by the way. I just registered today but I guess I got logged out and it showed my post by "guest."

Also, I just noticed that I also have a negative entry for an apartment complex I used to live in. Basically my girlfriend was being verbally assaulted by our neighbors and we bolted early....before it turned into anything worse. There was only a month or so left on our lease and I told the office and they said it would be find and they could probably rent it our early and we'd be fine. My mistake (and stupidity) for not getting this in writing but after we moved out they sent me a bill for all these "early move-out" penalties and such. Basically I paid a full 12 months of rent but our move-in special was a $50/month rental discount coupon. The lease said if you broke your lease (which we really didn't), you'd be responsible to reimburse them for all these amounts....plus penalties.

How long can this remain on my credit report? This happened back in 2001 and was not on my report for a few years but popped back up in the past year. The date of 1st deliquency is listed as 6/2001 (we moved out in May 2001 if I remember correctly) but the "status date" is listed as 8/2006. It says the "date assigned" is 8/2001 as its only been with 1 (the same) CA the whole time.

We bickered back and forth for several months but nothing was ever resolved. Basically I paid them a full 12 months of rent (and they kept my security deposit) so I don't think they had any grounds to try and collect the penalities mentioned above. Even though I wasn't there, I satisfied all 12 months payments of my 12 month lease so I don't see any way they can charge me the penalties....and they never gave me any answer to why they felt they could.

Will this drop off at any point? Should I try to dispute it with the Credit Reporting Agencies to try and get it removed? Its been 6 years now....the balance is about $900 or so by the way.

Hi all, I'm a newbie to the forum. I've found
a lot of helpful information on this site so I thought
I'd ask for a little advice.

My situation is that I ran into some financial problems
a few years back and had to let 2 credit cards slide.
These accounts have since been charged off
and are now with 2 seperate collection agencies.
I only receive calls/letters from one of the CA's
(they handle just 1 of the accounts). The accounts show
the Date of Last Activity as 6/2004 and 1/2005. I am in
NC so the SOL on these accounts in 3 years so I still
liable to be sued for the balance of both accounts...even
though I've not received anything along these lines as
of yet.

First of all, are both DOFDs (6/2004 and 1/2005) correct?
I had discovered that the CAs will bring legal action, in the
year that the SOL is due to expire. That would be in 2007
and 1/2008, IF these dates are accurate.

Since we all know that CAs are known to lie about the
DOFD. Think hard about when you last made a payment
to determine the exact DOFDs. Also, what is the DOFD
that the Original Creditors are reporting? The CAs must
report the same exact DOFD.

Note: Answer these questions, and I will come back, later

How long can this remain on my credit report?
This happened back in 2001 and was not on my
report for a few years but popped back up in the past
year. The date of 1st deliquency is listed as 6/2001
(we moved out in May 2001 if I remember correctly)
but the "status date" is listed as 8/2006. It says the
"date assigned" is 8/2001 as its only been with 1 (the
same) CA the whole time.

When it popped back up, the CA is required to pop
up and send a Validation Notice within five days.

The illegal "status date" is saying that the collections
account is a mere 7 months old for FICO scoring,
which is not true. This illegal reporting tactic suppresses
your credit scores.

This alleged account should drop off automatically on
6/2008. Period. If it does not, then you should
Dispute with the CBS as Obsolete Information.

Right now, if you so desired, Dispute with the CBs
and DV the CA. Remember, they must be able
to prove that what they are reporting. And it must
be 100% accurate. Since it is six years ago,
may be the rental office misplaced some paperwork.

Note: June 2008 will be here before you know it.
Then its, bye-bye :D forever !!!

Thanks for responding Park!

Is DOFD "Date of First Deliquency?" The dates I gave in my initial post above (6/2004 and 1/2005) are whats listed is as "Date of Last Activity" on my credit report I pulled from Equifax. 1 of the accounts has an entry in the section for "Date Major Deliquency First Reported" of 3/2006. The other account doesn't have anything in this section. Looking at the 81-month payment history grid, I paid as agreed from 2/2000 (when the account was opened) until it shows me 30 Days past due in July 2004. On the other account, I paid as agreed from 2/2001 (when account shows being opened) until October 2004 when it shows me 60 Days past due. Thinking back, these dates sound about accurate....I probably last made a payment in 2004 sometime.

I forgot to mention that although I am getting phone calls and mail from collection agencies, these accounts are reporting under "Negative Account History" on my report (but not under "Collections") under the original creditors still (Chase and Citibank). There are no entries currently on my credit report for the Collections Agencies these accounts are apparently assigned to.

As for my 2nd issue (with the apartment complex), it currently shows on my credit report under the "comments" section that "customer disputes balance due" so maybe I'll just ride it out until next year. The lease on my car is up next April so thats the next time I anticipate having to obtain financing/credit.

Thanks for responding Park!

You're welcome!

Is DOFD "Date of First Deliquency?" The dates
I gave in my initial post above (6/2004 and 1/2005)
are whats listed is as "Date of Last Activity" on my
credit report I pulled from Equifax.

Account #1 = DOLA 6/2004
Account #2 = DOLA 1/2005 ?

1 of the accounts has an entry in the
section for "Date Major Deliquency First Reported"
of 3/2006.

This means that although your
last payment may have been 08/2004; the OC did
not Report the Delinquency of the Account to
Equifax until 3/2006. On EQ, this field is rarely
used, if ever, by the OCs.

The other account doesn't have anything in
this section. Looking at the 81-month payment history
grid, I paid as agreed from 2/2000 (when the account
was opened) until it shows me 30 Days past due in
July 2004
.

For EQ, DOLA and/or DOLP
(usually the same) = 06/2004.

On the other account, I paid as agreed from
2/2001 (when account shows being opened) until
October 2004 when it shows me 60 Days past
due
.

For EQ, DOLA and/or DOLP (usually
the same) = 8/2004.

Thinking back, these dates sound about
accurate....I probably last made a payment in
2004 sometime.

So, your DOLPs are
6/2004 and 8/2004 NOT 6/2004
and 1/2005. January 2005 is inaccurate.

Based upon your additional information,
the SOL expires on 6/2007 and 8/2007.
I would NOT Dispute or DV anything, until
30 days after both SOL expires.

I forgot to mention that although I am
getting phone calls and mail from collection
agencies, these accounts are reporting under
"Negative Account History" on my report
(but not under "Collections") under the original
creditors still (Chase and Citibank). There are
no entries currently on my credit report for the
Collections Agencies these accounts are apparently
assigned to.

I understand. I am pleased to
know there are no duplicates. Again, do NOT
Dispute or DV, until at least October 2007.
Be safe. On 10/20007 both SOLs will have expired.

As for my 2nd issue (with the apartment
complex), it currently shows on my credit report
under the "comments" section that "customer
disputes balance due" so maybe I'll just ride it out
until next year. The lease on my car is up next
April so thats the next time I anticipate having to
obtain financing/credit.

From what I understand, accounts marked as
"Disputed" are NOT calculated for credit scoring.
I refuse to believe it.
At any rate, this account should drop off June 2008.
You may have to wait until after June 2008
to apply for auto financing to get the most
favorable interest rate for you. Sorry!

I know these 2 accounts are damaging to my credit (even though I have other currently open accounts that are in perfect standing and all other accounts in my history are perfect as well) but are they worth trying to resolve?

Perhaps yes, But see my comments below.

This is not the best time as I am losing my job (after 8 years) as a result of company downsizing at the end of this month.

I'm am so sorry to hear this. Hopefully, you will find a new job
real soon. There must be better job for you out there.

The good news is that I am getting a pretty decent severance package. Assuming I can land a new job in the next few months, I was debating trying to use some of my severance package money to resolve these charge off accounts by negotiating a payoff. The balances for each are around $8K so I unless they will take less than $5K for both ($2500 each), I probably can only afford to take care of 1 account. I can work on the other account down the road once I get back on my feet and get some money saved up.

Be very, very careful with paying Charge-offs.
You do not want to re-start the SOL and/or Update
these Accounts. With the DOLPs as 6/2004 and 8/2004,
these two accounts are scheduled to Report until
6/2011 and 8/2011. Although the apartment account
will drop off 6/2008, these two negative accounts will
display.

Is it worth it? How much will this help get
my credit going back in the right direction?

Perhaps, you should ask an Expert opinion on how
to deal with these two. You may be able to negotiate
and settle with the OC and get a "Paid as Agreed" or
Delete would be nice. You need an Expert's opinion
on this before you do anything. You need to do that
immediately. There is a Debt CC Forum here. Check
it out. Acting on your own, may do more harm to
your credit than good. Good Luck.

I was recently notified that ny account has been "charged off" even though I have made regular payments and have paid off almost half of a $42,oo debt . I have missed about 6 payments and in arrears $5,000 ; this is over several years. my monthly payments have been $760/monthly. Can I negotiate with the original company or do I wait for a collection agency to contact me?Thank you for any advice. Marie

Hi marie,

You need to check your credit report. Check if the account has really been charged-off and who is reporting the account. You have mentioned that you have missed 6 payments. So, did you miss these payments for consecutive 6 months? You can talk to your original creditor about this. See what they say.

Thanks,

Aaron

How Feminism paintings

That reaction among the magazine's feminist readers displayed the inherent challenge of defining what feminism is precisely. based on the context, You can spin the term as a viewpoint, Social mechanism, origin, Badge of honor or an offend. While feminists sometimes make radical strides toward gender equality and flung open many new ukraine marriage doors for women, The movement and philosophy behind it are getting culturally and politically polarizing. such as, When orthodox Alaska governor Sarah Palin told Katie Couric that she considers herself a feminist, Shock waves rippled round the feminist community. As an outright opponent of abortion and sex understanding in schools, How may very well Gov. Palin probably fit the feminist mold, Some asked. But national healthcare aside, A working mother of five running for vp hardly seems antifeminist.

At its basis, Feminism is the assumption in equality. It seeks to get rid of the social, Cultural and legal barriers between women and men. Its goal is to manufacture a truly egalitarian society. other than that, The environments grow murkier. Feminist factions disagree sometimes on what constitutes equality a brand new sexual freedom, career advancement or something else. men and women who label themselves feminists perceive that battle for equality as over and done with; Others still view society as rife with patriarchal polices. not too, A debate has stirred over whether feminism is already outdated as term and should even be used at all.

Dating amazing Young Russian

Is it a quest for imortality, Is it planning to show and prove we remain vital? Whatever the reason many men plan to be with a younger woman. Well as fate might say, Many russian, Ukrainian women would choose to be with an older man. just what realities behind unions across the age gap?

As the CEO of an International dating matchmaking agency based in The Ukraine I know consequently and observation that the dream of many men for a younger partner can be achieved, But let us first understand this issue from both sides. the women registered to my agency range in age from 18 to 50 years old, But it is fair to say the disastrous majority of these ladies are seeking an older man and this is even more noticeable with the younger ladies.

so why,the actual? tend to be attraction of an older partner for these ladies? The first issue to make note of is that Russian, Ukrainian ladies are unique in that they seem to mature at an amazingly young age. Quite why this needs to be is not clear to me, But it is an indisputable fact. Maybe it is old fashioned, Maybe it is so within these countries. Of course the physical material hardship within these countries must play a part.

absolutely free ladies embark on educating themselves at what is by Western standards, A very young age and many have completed a university course and obtained a diploma by the ukraine girl dating age of 22 years, They take very seriously the amount. Gaining the best education achievable and a valid and profesional qualification is essential for the majority of these ladies and this normally comes before thoughts of marraige.

Contrary to the knowing of many, The majority of these ladies wish to pursue a career even after marriage and will maintain some intellectual challenge in their life, before it uses being totally dependent upon their partner.

It is a disbelief to believe that the attraction for these ladies, Of a older partner is only loan, But it is fair to say it can be a factor. It seems from my observations that so these ladies are too mature, dating ukrainian women Advanced and even intelligent to mix with men of their age. From my observations I will list some of the qualities they seek from an older partner, Some of the attractions from their viewpoints.

They seek someone that can treat them as the intelligent, alert, Women they've. Someone that learns how to romance and treat a beautiful woman. someone that can support them emotionally, Spiritually and materially and someone that will listen to them value their opinions and value them as a human being.

customized and so ladies are very beautiful, they already know that! What they crave and need is that their inner qualities be liked, That they be valued as a hero. So clearly the desires and aspiration of any man seeking a younger partner can be performed, But indications of implications involved?

If the age difference is 20 years or more they have to take care of themselves, keep fit and keep healthy (Something many men in the west are doing). Be adaptable and open. You and your spouse will be at different stages within the cycle of life and she might well prefer to go out more, socialize more and lead a more active life than you. Can you accommodate that?

As I have mentioned from my observations many of those Russian, Ukrainian ladies share a maturity some 10 years prior to their actual years, So if you conversely feel younger than your physical age you can meet in between.

What is the drink and food of any successful relationship, What can sustain a partnership in a difficult moment? Mutual esteem, Understanding and somewhat selflessness. I see no difference at all in a correlation of differing ages.

If you are lucky enough to win a Russian, Ukrainian lady she is probably going to be beautiful and attract much attention and as with all ladies they will enjoy being admired? It brings about feel good.

Do not feel exposed, Remember she choose you and so far that you give to your love that which you yourself need, aspect, Kindness and endure she is yours. Slavic women are arguably the most loyal on the planet and so far that you don't drive her away she is yours and yours only.

I have been with Lexington firm for over 4 months and paying 99 dollars monthly but they have not been able to remove any negative and nothing good has been done so far. I realized that Lexington firm has been wasting my time and money after Ghost Virus threw more light on how credit repair works and maximum time it can be fixed. I got his number from a website +1 205 418 0498 I texted him and we discussed the process. I had a low score of 550 and 8 negatives all together including student’s loan, within 12 working days he fixed all of it and raised my score to exactly 796. I strongly recommend Ghostvirus7890@gmail.com for any credit related issue Chex system and DUI report as well.

I checked my scores some couple of weeks ago, they ran down in the low to the mid 400s. I was struggling having a hard time getting approved for anything due to a layoff I had last year so I fell behind on my bills and now I am struggling trying to get my score back up so I can purchase a home. I surf the internet in search of help and I met with AUTOLINKS CREDIT SERVICES and I explained to them my credit situation and they promised to help me get my scores back on track so I can be qualified for the home purchase. After some couple of days later, they cleared the bills on my credit profile and effected the changes across all 3 credit bureaus and finally raised my scores to 793. I bought the house after a week and I am very happy today with my family. You can contact them and have them fix your credit issues as fast as possible.

An Enclave For Migrating Birds Not pet owners

Spanish cute spanish girls radar works silently and ceaselessly from the top of Mount Hacho ignoring Ceuta, choosing migrants trying to reach the enclave, But many of the inhabitants of the area will tell you that they have never seen the enormous fences that stand within the center of the hills just four or five kilometres away from the city centre. financial information: Andrea Pettrachin/IPS

CEUTA, the nation, Jun 3 2015 (ips) A few kilometres before the border between the Spanish enclave of Ceuta and Morocco, A sign informs passers by that this outpost of Spain on African soil stands in a privileged position for those who wish to see the annual migration of birds across the Strait of Gibraltar, Their quickest route from Africa to Europe.

At the border again, Huge fences have been erected to block the daily attempts of human migrants who wish to escape hunger, Despair and quite often conflict, A phenomenon that the people of Ceuta are less proud to develop and about which they prefer silence.

That silence was dramatically broken at the start of May when a border control X ray machine detected Abou, An eight year old boy from Cote d'Ivoire, Inside a suitcase set being carried into the Spanish enclave.

That was only bigger of a number of (more or less ingenious) ways used by migrants amassed in the Moroccan woods next to the Spanish border to try to enter the so called 'Fortress Europe',What strikes the visitor most about Ceuta is its incredible contradictions.

Even if they do not appeal to the media as in the case of Abou, on daily basis Ceuta is the scene of young African migrants, the great majority aged between 15 and 30, Trying to reach Spanish territory in solutions are as, or even more, noxious than the one chosen by Abou's father.

the vast majority of them attempt to do so by sea, Mainly in dinghies or hidden under the water boats usually used by children on the beach. In feb 2014, 15 Africans died trying to swim around the fence, When border guards fired rubber bullets at them in water. Others attempt the border crossing hidden in secret storage under cars, And some even try scaling the fences.

What strikes the customer most about Ceuta is its incredible contradictions. the hub, With its public of just over 80,000 people currently in 18.6 square kilometres and proudly Spanish since 1668, Gives the thinking behind wanting to live as if the migrants and their attempts to reach the enclave do not exist.

On one of the days that Abou was capturing the headlines of media over the world, The main news reported one particular of one of the enclave's two newspapers was the results of an opinion poll on upcoming administrative elections.

you see, the "Centre for temporary Stay of Immigrants, Where all migrants that manage to enter the enclave are met, Is an enormous structure which can be quite hidden and impossible to be seen from any point in the city and from the hills behind it.

Spanish radar works silently and ceaselessly from the top of Mount Hacho ignoring Ceuta, how to identify migrants trying to reach the enclave, But many of the inhabitants of the area will tell you that they have never seen the enormous fences that stand in the midst of the hills just four or five kilometres away from the city centre.

all of the enclave, Described by the Lonely Planet travel guide as resembling a "Grand social play with it concocted by rival political systems" And sort of "ethnical island, Is unique from a demographical point of view in that 50 percent of individuals is Moroccan or of Moroccan origin.

The city is divided into a sort of well established and quite rigid "Caste programme,
