In the case of a collection account, it is always in your best interest to have the tradeline completely removed from your credit report as opposed to having it show paid.

If the account is NOT a collection or P&L, then the opposite may be true. Let's say you have a credit card with 6 late payments being reported to your credit history. You negotiate with your creditor to have all the late payments removed from the tradeline, showing that it has been paid as agreed, never late. This would be better then to have the entire tradeline removed, as the now clean payment history will help to raise your FICO score. Having it removed will not have as positive an effect. You will lose all the credit history associated with the tradeline, as well as (if it is a revolving account), available credit. Not having sufficient credit history can be just as detrimental as having bad credit.

Hope this helps!

Can the original creditor agree to recall the account from collections who is reporting it once it is paid in full in effect having it removed from the credit report?

Negative entries will remain on a credit report until the required time period of seven years has elapsed. Neither the original creditor nor a collector can have the entry removed, but it can be noted as "paid as agreed", "paid in full" "satisfied" and so forth.


Can a credit card company charge off an account when they are receiving monthly payments?

Yes, if the monthly payment is not the minimum amount agreed upon, a breach of contract has occurred on the part of the account holder and the creditor may take whatever action they decide is warranted.


If a credit card account has been closed what is the obligation in paying off the remaining debt?

When you signed up for the credit card you agreed to pay for any debt that you incurred. If your promise is worth anything, you are obligated to pay your debt. Failure to pay the debt will probably result in legal action by the credit card company and no doubt will result in a bad credit rating, making future loans more difficult. If you don't pay the debt, they will get you. At some point in the future, you will wish that you had paid the debt. The outstanding balance and any applicable interest or fees will remain valid until paid as agreed. If the account holder defaults on what is owed, the creditor can remand the account to collections and/or pursue legal options such as arbiration or a lawsuit.

What is the difference between a savings account and a fixed deposit account?

A Fixed Deposit Account is one in which the customer deposits a big sum of money (Usually a few thousands and upwards. There is actually no limit to the amount of money you can deposit in a FD) for a fixed duration of time (Atleast 3 months or higher). Since you agree to keep the money deposited with the bank for a fixed/agreed upon duration, the bank gives you a very good interest as payment for keeping the deposit A savings account is one in which customers save their monthly savings and they are not like the current account. Though the money is available at any time for the customer to withdraw, money is not as frequently deposited/withdrawn from it like the current account. Hence banks offer a meager interest rate for the money held in this account

If you made late payments due to medical reasons can that be removed from your credit score?

Fair Credit Reporting Act requires that the creditor report your payment status accurately. That means that if you agreed to pay a certain amount on a certain day, then your account is "paid as agreed". If you miss a payment for any reason other than bank error, the account has not been paid as agreed no matter what the reason for the late payment. If you have medical issues that prevent timely payment, the best arrangement would be to make arrangements with the creditor prior to the conditions of the agreement not being met.
