Common Credit Report Myths

Common Credit Report Myths

The most common myth that people assume is that they have to wait for 7 years or more for items to fall off their credit report. Another myth is that their credit is so bad, it is beyond fixing. The majority of people have an advantage they do not realize. There is a solution! Normally, late payments, collections, charge-offs, write-offs, repossessions, etc stay on your report for 7 years before they fall. The problem is accounts get sold from the original creditor to a collection agency and now they are looking at the same collection being reported on their credit report for another 7 years for the same debt!  Collection agencies alone will even ignore an account for removal, long after 7 years. This can come across as a definite deterrent when lenders are reviewing your credit report, as you are seeking to open new lines of credit. Stop being judged by your credit score.

Some people go and pay off their collection accounts thinking that because it was paid it would be deleted from their credit report and this is not the case. In fact, all that happens is it gets updated on your report as a paid collection account and continues to report as a negative standing account. There are ways to get help when you are facing bad credit due to late payments, collection accounts, or any derogatory account on your credit report.
