I hate EXP Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 In less than a year I have systematically cleared collections and inaccuracies on my report. My Transunion and Equifax reports are pretty close to fair territory but Experian seems to be an issue. Most issues were cleared up through online disputes but this came back as being verifiedI have Old credit cards from BOA that defaulted in 2001 . I disputed them and the Credit card companies reported the accounts paid . The problem is that they are also reporting the charge off date incorrectly. On the hard copy sent to me the opening date also states that the account was opened in 2004. The dates appear to be correct on Equifax howeverAlthough the CRA has not recieved them yet the items I have for proof are 1 The original credit card2 A copy of one of my last credit card statements from August 20013 A copy of my 2004 credit report showing the original open account showing as zero 4 The account showing that the collection account ( now deleted from my current report) opening in 2001The report also shows the very same account opening in 2004I plan on disputing again in writing and requesting correction or deletion. Any suggestions on wording of such dispute or advice on how to proceed. If it comes back as verified I will dispute with the Original creditor. I do have a lawyer if a lawsuit is applicable but I have not discussed this issue yet. Any suggestions?EXPERIAN ReportAddress: PO BOX 1390 NORFOLK, VA 23501 (800) 441-0130 Status: Transferred,closed/Account charged off. $xxxxx written off.

nevermore Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 Looking at what you have listed as your Experian TL, I dont see the problem. It lists the original delinquency as july 2001 so it should come of 7 years from that date. The status date isnt going to change that. Where it says charge-off Jan 2002- April 2004..... that is just saying the company reported it to them as a charge-off every month during that period. It doesnt really change when it will fall off.

cjtx Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 "Charge Off as of Jan 2002 to Apr 2004"I used to think this was fine and dandy too, but when you get your report from myFICO, all those unnecessary, redundant charge-offs actually appear as late payments (90+ days late) on an account that, by definition, cannot have any late payments since they already reported it as a loss.What this does to your score is it brings it down because it shows recent history of non-payment. Experian is well aware of this problem, but they fail to correct it.Old late payments after charge-off, (2 years old or more) will only affect your score a couple points, but the recent ones will really hurt it.
