Under current laws, a bad account remains on your credit report for only 7-years from the last payment date. Other types of debts, and even public notices, remain on your credit for longer. The right thing to do is pay your bills, do so on-time, and always make sure not to over spend on credit.

If a debt listed on your credit report was sold from one collection agency to another and you paid the debt with the new agency can the old agency still be marked as a debt on your credit report?
If the old collection company is still showing the debt being owed, it can usually be taken care of by supplying to them evidence of the payoff of the debt with the other agency. Should that not work, order your credit report on line (from whichever bureau is reporting it) and then instigate an on-line dispute. You'll have to supply to them evidence the debt is paid and then they'll handle it from there. This procedure usually takes 30 - 45 days to clear up.

Can a judgment be placed on your home or wages garnished from a 15-16-year-old credit card debt and can they legally place this debt on your credit report after this period of time?
The tricky thing about credit cards is that they never expire so no matter how old it is, they can call it in for collection now and put a lien on your home. If the debt is still active, then it can be on your credit report as well. It has to be settled in order for it to go the full 7 years and dissappear from your record.

If you have been told you have a delinquent debt with a car repossession that was charged off in 1994 can this debt be placed on your current credit report even though you have denied ever owning the car?
A repossession that is over seven years old is not supposed to be on your credit report. It is not unusual for a collection agency to illegaly "reage" a debt in order to try to pressure you to pay. From your post it does not appear that you know what is on your credit report. If you have been denied credit then you are entitled to receive one for free. Contact information for the three credit reporting agencies can be found at solidgoldhomebusiness.com If this item is actually on your credit report then you can dispute the information and demand verification. Dispute instructions will be included with the report.
