Interpreting Experian Report

I'm a bit puzzled by an item on my Experian report. It says date of chargeoff was in March 2006, July 2006 AND August 2004 but I stopped paying on it in 2004.

Also, which date is more important with regards to the SOL? There is a "Date of Status" which reads August 2004. It says last reported in 2006. I'm a bit puzzled here. Thank you in advance for your help!

Charge off is both a status and an event. Once an account is C/O'd, the status may be subsequently reported. The 'date last reported' is the month/year a transfer of data occurred. It is meaningless to the length of Reporting Period and to SOL.

SOL is state law which establishes a period of time during whch a valid lawsuit may be filed and details the ramifications should judgment be granted.

RP is the length of time an account may appear on your CR. It's established by the federal FCRA. There's a sticky at the top of the page for your reference. RP is detailed in 1681c, Subsection 605. It begins with the 'commencement of the delinquency'.

Experian typically doesn't list the 'commencement of the delinquency', which usually parallels the beginning of SOL. You should read your state's law just to be sure.

"Date of Status' can be ignored.

You can contact Experian and request the date they have been provided as the beginning of RP. They HAVE it. We know this from readihg the FCRA 1681s-2, Subsection 623.

BUT...

"...last reported 2006..."

Any correspondence on this TL will trigger a standard CRA dispute. The result will either be suppression or an update. The update will, most likely, cause a drop in your score. Just FYI.
