If a defaulted credit card is sent to collections does your 7 yrs begin again before it can be removed?

Wednesday, March 9th, 2011

If a defaulted credit card has been written off on your credit then sold to a collection agency, they usually change your account number and make it look like it is new…thus extending the life of that default. When can one argue that 7 years has passed and that the default should be removed?

Monday, November 29th, 2010

I know defaulted loans can hurt your credit for a longer time than bankruptcy.

Can car finance company increase my variable payments, even though i never defaulted?

Friday, September 24th, 2010

Bought a car through a dealer and a separate company did the finance and offered 9% variable interest, now the finance company went bust. It was then taken over by another finance company who have now increased the the rate to 30% interest. I have never missed a payment and always have paid my previous car finance deals off earlier than the term agreement. I know it says variable interest, but surely an increase of 21% is unfair?

Tuesday, September 7th, 2010

I’m trying to work this around in my head, but no luck so far. How exactly does this work?

Would it cause something like the subprime mortgage crisis to happen?

How do I pay defaulted student loans to save my credit?

Monday, May 31st, 2010

I am a single mother of three, so even a good income has to be very well budgeted.

What can I do to both get these paid and save my credit?

Is paying off defaulted loans that aren’t on my credit report going to help my credit score?

Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010

I owe $9,000 in student loans. They just started garnishing my wages for $500/month. The loans were from 1998 and do not appear on my credit report. The collection company told me that once they’re paid off that they will appear as not in default on my credit.
