So long as you pay your bills on time, your credit score shouldn't change. Paying down the debt will, of course, help increase your score.
Yes it can. So long as the debt has not been charged off, intrest continues to mount. As long as there is a balance, and the lender has a hope of getting you to pay, he may leave it open. It also helps to get the balance higher so suing you becoems more feasible.
I just saw the very tail end of a tv news report that said something about credit card companies were willing to accept 37 percent of the balance if you paid the balance in full without any negative reporting on your credit report. I think it might have something to do with a new plan to get people help to pay off or the government might have been trying to implement something. I cant remember what station, but it was a national news program and it was not an advertisement. I cant find anything about it on the internet. Have you heard anything about this? Thanks J.T.
untill you pay it off
until the balance is zero
Once a debt is repaid, the creditor should report the account as current/paid with in 90 days. After paying off an account, obtain your credit report to make sure that all information is accurate and current.
Do they? NOT usually. CAN they?? yes, if you convince them to. reporting a repo is reporting a fact. The repo DID happen. They report the payoff. That is a fact also.
As long as you have coverage, yes the insurance company will pay. All you have to do is call them and report the loss.
You will need mortgage insurance as long as you still have a balance to pay on your mortgage, so in essence for as long as you have a mortgage.

If it's a personal debt, such as something off the record, ya might want to.
YES, unless the LENDER decides not to report a repo to the CA.
