Why balance sheet is not an account?
An account is a record that represents a single thing to the company. Balance sheets represent multiple accounts. Accounts can at one time only be either a debit or a credit. A balance sheet is a collection of certain accounts presented in a statement, and includes both debit and credit accounts.
How does a potentially negative item affect your credit score?
The effects of negative credit items depend on the nature of the item (credit card, foreclosure, collection account) as well as the severity of the item (30 day delinquency vs. charge-off). Additionally, the presence of other accounts, both positive and negative, will adjust the impact that a single negative item has on your credit score. One final variable that also affects how a single negative item impacts your score is the overall length of your credit history. A single negative item could cause your score to drop 3 points or 150. It really depends on each situation.
Would keeping a zero balance on a new credit card for a long period of time negatively affect your credit score?
Not in and of itself. But credit scores are calculated based on ALL the information showing in a consumer's credit file, not just a single account. This account, in relation to others on your report, may affect the overall calculation in ways not addressed in your question. That is the problem with trying to guesstimate the impact of one small piece of data when the score is factored from the whole.
Can a collection agency report the same collection account under 2 different account numbers on your credit report?
Yes actually they sell the account to differant collectors and will continue to blemish your rating until it is paid in full/ settlement or you request the item to be removed for lack of authenticityAnswerSorry, a single account cannot be sold to multiple collectors at the same time. Sometimes a collector will update an account making it seem that the account is active,and the reporting data is in error, such as transposed numbers, or even the number of someone else's account. Regardless the reason, it should be brought to the attention of the credit bureau(s) and if found invalid,should be expunged.
Will a lump sum repayment of credit card debt improve credit score?
BEWARE! One of two debts: 1) appears on credit report. 2) does not appear on credit report. 1) if it's on credit report as a defaulted account (charged off or anything) and it's suddenly paid, it will affect your credit iin a similar way - so if you had a 620 with an "open judgment" or "open collection account" and now it's a "paid collection account" it won't change much at first - maybe a 625. But over time, it will improve to eventually say a 690 or 700 in two years whereas an "open collection account" will continue to hurt you month to month until it falls off the report after 7 years. 2) if it does not appear on your credit report, suddenly paying it may and likely will land it on yiour credit report as a paid old debt - so don't do it!! Especially if the statute of limitations has passed for them to sue you in court, forget that debt. there's a real risk that something older than 7 years (so it falls off your credit report) will suddenly show up the moment you make a single dollar payment on the account because it's you affirming your debt and suddenly the 7 years starts to toll again! Beware - this is a very tricky area! Lot of traps in this field.

In Florida if the primary is on disability and can't pay will the bank go after the other signer?
If the account is joint both spouses are liable for the debt and subject to collection actions. If one spouse is a single account holder and the other is only an authorized user, only the account holder is responsible for the debt. This is assuming the question refers to credit card or open account debt, not a morgage, vehicle, or other secured lender. Disability benefits whether SSD or private are not subject to garnishment by creditors in the state of Florida.
How will starting a new line of credit prior to applying for a mortgage affect its outcome?
There are several factors to consider when opening a new line of credit prior to applying for a mortgage. The most important factor is the new account's affect on your credit score. A single inquiry on your credit can decrease your score by as much as 25 pts and that can be disastrous for mortgage qualification purposes. It is best that you know your qualifying score prior to attempting to open a new account and then be able to determine if there is a cushion for a new account's impact. There is also the issue of a new payment and how it would impact your debt to income ratio. If you need any further assitance with this feel free to contact me. Eloy D.
