    I had one of those entries on my Equifax report with Montgomery Wards reporting 30 days past due 00 times; 60 days past due 00 times; 90 + days past due 00 times;
    ACCOUNT TRANSFERRED OR SOLD
    No Status

    I called in to dispute and the rep said it was deleted automatically on 2/1/02.

    If you had this on your report, call in and check to see if it was deleted. They will send you a free copy of your Equifax report by mail to show it was deleted.

    MY MW was there YESTERDAY....with all the extra 30/60/90 days late 00.

    So are all of them supposedly reporting like that? I have an old MW account that has never been late and as of 1/24/02 there was nothing wrong with it.

    Did it "look" like a negative account or just have the 30-60-90 stuff with zeroes?

    It's too late to call the CRA now....so far as "sold or transferred"--didn't Monogram/GE Capital buy those accounts?

    My account was closed years BEFORE MW closed.

    so it just has the notations (with no dates), but none of the little bracket-thingies that mean negative, huh? Guess that it isn't a negative per se.

    Like I said, mine doesn't have a thing annotated from the report I got dated 1/24/02.

    I am tired of wierd things popping up.

    It is best to get this thing off your credit report. While a human reading your report won't think that there is anything wrong about it, a computer scanning your report might interpet the MW entry as a negative. The string "30 days past due 00 times; 60 days past due 00 times; 90 + days past due 00 times" should not appear on your report!

    Tim,

    but it deleted automatically....?

    Guess I may need to get a even more new copy. What date was the report that had all the funky notations, since you were told it was automatically deleted as of 2/1/02?

    Thanks!

    It appeared on my reported dated 1/29/02. Call in and ask about it. If if is gone, they will send you a new report free. If it is still there, dispute it!

    30 days- 00
    60 days- 00
    90 days- 00

    I don't think it hurts your score. I have a couple accounts listed this way and they are all in the positive sections of my reports. I don't know why some are listed this way, but it has never stopped me from recieving even instant credit. Hope this helps.
