DOFD and Aging off...

[pluckman4]

I need some clarification:

How long does it take a TL to fall off a credit report? 7 years from date of first delinquency or date of last delinquency?

 

I am looking at my TU report, hard copy right now.

 

I have a [30] from 03/2008, that would be date of first delinquency or not? (that is my first missed payment of this account and it says under account summary the date closed is 04/2008!?!)

 

After the [30], there are 3 months of [60] then [OK] until 7/2009.

 

From 7/2009, it goes [30], [60], [90], [120], [120], then 8 straight [CO]'s, with the last [CO] being 07/2010.

 

DOFD or DOLD are not listed under account summary. However, date of last payment is listed at 05/2009. (even though i have an [OK] at 06/2009).

 

The estimated month and year for it to fall off is listed at 05/2016... 7 years after date of last payment.

 

Sorry if this is confusing... but according to this data... when should this TL fall off?

Technically the CB's have 7.5 years from DOFD that was never brought current and caused the account to charge off. They usually delete around 7 years from date of first delinquency though. So, if you had a late payment, then brought the account current, you can't use that delinquency date. You must use the date of first default where the account was never brought current again.

So when do you think I can dispute as obsolete? 11/2015?

5/16 is correct.

For TU specifically, a late payment on an otherwise positive trade line will fall off on the month prior to 7 years, e.g. delinquency 10/2007 should fall off 09/2017. In your scenario with it ultimately resulting in a charge-off, with the last delinquency cycle beginning in 07/2009, then it should fall off 06/2016. I cannot find a consistent rhyme or reason with TU sometimes, with their fall-off dates generally seeming to come earlier than what one would have expected. So, if they say 05/2016, then that seems correct.

 

However, many members generally have good luck with requesting early deletions from TU, up to 6 months prior to the projected fall-off dates. For example, I recently had two COs, one from Barclays Bank DE and one from HSBC Bank, scheduled to be removed 09/2014. I disputed them online as "obsolete" on 03/14/2014 and they were deleted on 04/11/2014.

 

So, beginning 12/2015 you could start disputing this item as obsolete, to try for the early deletion.

You can usually get an early deletion from TU (within 6 months of it falling off) by deleting as obsolete online. I had success getting rid of two Merrick COs that were both showing a balance that way recently. You can try doing the same with EQ - but the process is a little harder and takes a little longer. EX, you're pretty much going to have to wait for it to age off.

It was my understanding that people have had luck deleting as obsolete with EX within 3 months of it falling off. No?

Good to know. Although EX is a pain in my butt lately.

I feel your pain. TU and EQ are also being a pain in my butt lately. Innovis was easy though.
