Re: <Your>
Dear Sir/ Madam,
This is to inform you that I have been unable to make payments on time for the past X months due to loss of job. My earlier payments have always been on time. For your information I have been successful in getting a permanent job and now I am capable of paying back the loan.
My account with you has been for the past 14 months (this has to be more than 9 months according to FFIEC) and I am more than willing to repay immediately. I will be paying for the next consecutive three months as proof of my ability to pay back. This is an earnest request to you to consider re-aging my accounts if I suffice all the eligibility criteria. I would be obliged if you consider my request.
Do get back to me for any further information that I might be able to furnish you with. Thank you for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
<Signature>
<Your>

To get back in control of an account gone awry you can opt for re-aging of that account. Re-aging can be used to clean credit history. e.g. if one of your accounts have been delinquent for few months and now you have the capability to pay back you can negotiate to re-age that account so that the negative remark (delinquent/late payment) is deleted and is marked as "current".
This is in no case an easy process and you have to meet a lot of criterion's to be eligible for this.
You have to show the eagerness and capability to pay back the loan
The account should be minimum 9 months old
You should be making a consecutive three months payments or a lump sum at one time
The loan should not have been re-aged in 12 months
No new credit till balance gos below pre-delinquency credit limit.
Only once you suffice these criteria you might be eligible for a re-aging of the account. It is tough but not impossible.

Not trying to throw a wrench in the spokes...
But, I have been with the impression that reaging is when a collection agency states a payment was made (falsey of course) to keep an account within the SOL... or current...
Or, are we talking about something completly different??? |

Now Sun this is a completely different thing here. reaging accounts is to get out of a temporary condition of financial difficulties like loss of job, some crucial and genuine family problems may be a death, medical emergency etc. This is the re-aging of open ended accounts.
The one you are talking about is done by the collection agencies but the one we are discussing here is something that has to be initiated by the consumer and has Federal Laws and Regulations to accomplish it.

Thanks ERB,
It feels good to know that it is of help to you all. Account reaging is quite confusing. Sun gave a completely different scenario whereas I have given something else. may someone can explain the difference here?

Re-aging done from a collection agencies is them doctoring your dat of last activity to put your debt back into SOL. It is always important to keep all documentation pertaining to debts for your own security...such as re aging accounts.
I think Laura did an awesome job in explaining account reaging. |

| I hate TV. I would rather read any day than watch the tube. Now my hubby can watch a movie 800 times over. I like giving advise especially when it helps but I really like when they stop back and tell us they were successful. Granted everyone can't have a success story but maybe at least a much happier ending. |

Learning being a part of life requires investment of time. If not shared then how does learning help? I am loving the spirit of the forum posters. Great going. However we can stick to reaging on this thread. How about making a thread for appreciating members LOL.
