What should my next step be? The account had a close and charge off date of 3/97.. updated 1/04 witha close and charge off date of 1/04. Just got the dispute result back today and it says "new information below" and on the tradeline it just says updated 04/04... now what should I do? Thanks.
-WAS it a charge off in 97?? -If it was, then I should be obsolete this year. BUT 180 days from 3/97 it looks like. -IF THEN it is not deleted, DISPUTE the status of the account as being obsolete. -If they dont delete it then, you may have an action under FCRA 623 (b)
if YuO nOtiCe SomE oF tEh WorDs HAvE DifFeReNT "EMPHASIS". As In "WAS" as in I was trying to confirm that IN FACT IT WAS 97 and not an assumption. THIS IS KINDA IMPORTANT. And the reporting period is 7 years from the original date of delinquency GENERALLY. I usually ADD -"give or take a few months" to allow for "reasonable" time. Here is what the FCRA say : "(c) Running of reporting period. (1) In general. The 7-year period referred to in paragraphs (4) and (6)(2) of subsection (a) shall begin, with respect to any delinquent account that is placed for collection (internally or by referral to a third party, whichever is earlier), charged to profit and loss, or subjected to any similar action, upon the expiration of the 180-day period beginning on the date of the commencement of the delinquency which immediately preceded the collection activity, charge to profit and loss, or similar action." -The 180 days I referred to is to allow reasonable time to delete an obsolete entry. IF the consumer reporting agency hasnt deleted it BY THEN, what excuse could they use ? -I wont get pulled into your name calling and childish antics. If you were so secure in your techiques and "ideas", you would feel no need to "throw sticks and stones"
Re: Re: re-age ...TU doesnt delete... Ok, it was charged off 3/97. It was my understanding that this should be obsolete as of this month. My question is how do I go about convincing TU of this. I gave them a copy of their own report showing a charge off date of 3/97. Now what?
