How long does a delinquent paid credit card account that has been closed stay on your credit report?
=== Sad to say that delinquent accounts will be on your report for 7 years unless you make an effort to have it removed. There are ways to do it.I cannot post my web site here however if you decided you need help then visit my bio page for more information. best of luck.===
How do you get accounts that have been closed for a long time removed from your credit report?
You get closed accounts removed from your credit report in the same manner as any other information. You write a letter of dispute to the creditor, or credit bureau, or both. The question is; why do you want closed accounts removed from your credit? If these accounts were paid as agreed, their appearance on your credit report is still offsetting any other information that appears there. I have clients with closed, 6-10 year old, accounts and active derogatory accounts that still have viable credit scores. Were they to challenge and have removed the closed accounts, they would have no score at all, which can be worse than having a low score. Keep in mind that your credit report, and the resulting credit score, is a history of how you have paid your bills in the last 7 to 10 years. You do not necessarily want that history to be empty.
Does having a joint checking account with someone with bad credit affect your credit?
Their credit is not reported on yours unless they mess up the checking account itself. If they bounce a check or start getting a lot of NSF's that will be on both of you. But their previous credit cannot affect yours. First, I would like to explain to you the difference between having bad credit, and having a bad report on ChexSystems. Banks and credit unions usually report people to Chexsystems regarding delinquent bank accounts. Financial companies and lenders report people to the 3 major credit bureaus regarding delinquent accounts. So, with that said, having a joint checking account with someone with bad credit does not affect your credit. If that person goes into delinquent status with the checking account and the bank reports him or her to Chexsystems or some other check verification company, then yes your name and social security will be reported as well. Your report will stay on Chexsystems for at least 5 years, unless you have it removed by some means. There are many banks that offer promotions for checking accounts for people with negative markings on their chexsystems report. A free consumer organization called "InfoAviator" has a pretty large list of them at infoaviator.org/finance/checking-accounts/2014/05/28/how-to-open-a-second-chance-checking/
What can you do if your credit report shows active accounts that you thought were charged off?
Why would you want to do anything? Having active accounts, instead of charged off accounts is a positive reflection of your past credit history and is probably causing you to have a credit score. This is a good thing, certainly much better than having charge offs, even paid charge offs showing. Your credit report is a history of how you have managed debt over the past 7 to 10 years. Accounts that were active during that period of time, whether open, closed, active or delinquent, are SUPPOSED to show on your credit report. Having them removed would certainly decrease your current credit score.
If you had an account become delinquent in 1998 but the charge off appeared on your credit report in 2005 can this be removed?
Dispute it with the reporting agencies. They are Equifax; Transunion and Experian.

Can delinquent membership dues in a timeshare be reported to a credit agency?
Any debt CAN be reported to the credit bureaus. What you need to find out is whether or not these dues WILL be reported. Credit reporting is totally volunatary. There is no law or regulation which compels it. Existing laws only state that if something is reported, then it must be accurate. It is possible, but unlikely, that a timeshare company reports. Delinquent dues may be turned over to a collection agency. A CA is more likely to report their accounts. What I know is that any debt can be reported to a credit agency. I don't know if this is the case of delinquent membership dues. Yes, it can be reported to a credit agency as delinquent membership dues can be treated like debts.

Can bad credit be erased out of your credit file legally?
It is your right and obligation to guarantee the exactness of the things on your credit reports. On the off chance that data recorded on your credit reports doesn't precisely address your way of behaving as a purchaser, then you reserve the option to demand that sketchy data be eliminated from your reports. The Fair Credit Revealing Demonstration (FCRA), Fair Credit Charging Act (FCBA) and the Fair Delinquent payment Assortments Practices Act (FDCPA) manage the cost of you the legitimate right to question erroneous things on your acknowledge reports for the credit departments and your singular leasers.

If your brother's name is listed on your credit report as other names used does this mean his credit is mixed with yours?
Possibly. Mixed files happen all the time. If there are accounts on your reports that are NOT yours dispute them as not belonging to you. If your brother's name appears on your reports, dispute that as well. Accounts on your reports that are connected to any other names should come off your reports.
