Write the creditor or reporter of the information and request verification of the debt, including the date of last activity. Ask for a detailed accounting of how that date was established. If you can establish another previous date, the reporting company would have to change it. But, note that you might be acknowledging the debt...and this could have its' own repercussions.

What is the difference between Date Reported and Date of Last Activity on a credit report?

The "date reported" or status date, is the date that the listing creditor lasted updated the information on a consumer's credit file. The DLA is the last time the consumer used an account, either by making a charge, making a payment (prior to default), or incurring service. The DLA is the date that triggers the countdown for how long information can show on a credit report and also triggers the statute of limitations (SOL) countdown for how long a consumer can be sued. The status date is the date that affects credit scores.

What is DLA?

Date of Last Activity


Would disputing a delinquent account held in collections affect the date of last activity and alarm the collection agency that is withholding the account?

Nothing can legally affect the date of last activity. That date is established according to guidelines set out in the Fair Credit Reporting Act. When a collection account or charge off is reported to the credit bureaus, the data furnisher has 90 days to identity the DLA. It is set, established and cannot be changed. To do so is called "re-aging" and is a violation of the FCRA. If you send a dispute to the credit bureaus, their procedure is to contact the data furnisher and request "verification". This most definitely notifies the collection agency about your dispute. Who knows if they are "alarmed" by this. The bureaus have 30 days (from the date they receive your written dispute) to get "verification" or they must shield the account from view.
