If you have a charged off credit card will it only stay on your credit report for 10 years?

All derogatory credit, including late payments as well as account written to profit and loss (which show on your credit file as either an R9 for Revolving Charge off or I9 - Installment Charge-off) can be removed after 7 years. Bankrutpcy Chapter 7 - stays on for 10 years. You must be proactive at the 7 year period to insure that it does get removed, as it does not always fall off by itself. You must obtain your credit report, then go through the standard dispute process. But the good news is, it is very easily accomplished as the 7 year period is mandated by regulation.


Does a bank account charge off go on your credit report?

Yes, any charge off goes on.


If you pay a charged off credit card how long does it take to go on your credit report?

Your charged off and now paid off card will show that you've had a charge off and that you've paid it off. It will also indicate if you paid an amount less than what the original debt was, if you came to that agreement with the creditor. The item should show on your credit report for 7 years from the last payment activity you made on it. So, if you paid it off today, February, 2008 it would stay there until February, 2015. Do not assume that anything "drops off" of a credit report without verifying it. Make sure that you check your credit reports (all three) minimally on an annual basis to find what's there and make sure things that are too old are challenged.


Will an unpaid collection account really go off credit report according to the estimated time its supposedto whether paid or unpaid?

In Canada your personal credit report is purged every 6 years. Being so; any written off accounts or collections and paid off accounts will fall off of your credit report. Equifax will confirm this with you. Call 1.877.227.8800 to contact Equifax direct. Might I advise that it is a good idea to check your personal credit every 8 months; this way you will know exactly what financial institutions see when they review your credit when you are applying for credit. Applying for creidt can sometimes by a trying event, educating yourself on your own credit score will give you more leverage to negociate the terms of a loan for example.


How does paying off a charge off affect your credit?

Usually, once a company charges off a debt, they will send the unsavory transaction to the credit bureaus, lowering one's credit score. Even if that individual pays the charge-off, the damage is done insomuch as the lender rarely sends an updated message indicating that the debt was paid. If you paid the charge-off, you may dispute the transaction line (by having a note added to the line that states that the debt was paid on a particular date), however, you DID allow the debt to get charged off, so that line will only go away after seven (7) years.
