How long does a credit card company keep open a delinquent account?

So long as there's a balance on the account - the file will remain open.


Can you have accounts that have been closed for 2 to 4 years removed from your credit report?

If your question pertains to closed, positive, accounts; you do not want tyis type of account removed (or more accurately, shielded from view) on your credit file. Old positive accounts still show past payment history. If these accounts were open, they would be aiding your credit score by lengthening the time you have had open credit. But, even when closed, they show past credit history. This is good thing, and not something want removed. If your question pertains to accounts with derogatory information; those items may legally show on your credit for 7 years from the date of last activity. After 2 to 4 years, you can write a letter of dispute to the credit bureaus. If the accounts are not verified within 30 days, they must be shielded. If verified, they will not only remain on your credit report, but also get updated. This won't change the length of time they show on your report, but MAY effect how much they impact your score.

If you received a collection notice and the company stated they reported your account to the credit bureau on Monday if you pay it this week since it is the same week will your score remain the same?

If they reported your account to the credit bureau, your score will decrease whether you paid it or not.


If you just paid items on your credit report will they come off your report if you dispute them to credit bureau?

It's difficult to give a specific answer w/o knowing what type of transactions the accounts were. If they were paid in full it will be noted something similar to "paid as agreed." But will remain on the account until closed and the time limit expires. If they were accounts that were in default they would perhaps be noted "satisfied and/or settled". Defaulted accounts will remain for the entire seven years or possibly more if they involved a judgment. Not all accounts are entered (or even have the same information) on all credit reports. Which is why consumers should make it a habit to inspect their credit report a minimum of once a year, preferable every six months.

If i missed 3 months payments on a credit card bill of 7 pounds and got given bad credit will that be removed now i have paid the debt?

No, it will remain on your credit for 6 or possibly 7 years. Even if account is closed and paid. What you can do is write the company and ASK in a very very nice way, if they will remove it. I actually had a Sears 60 day late payment removed once I paid the account off and it was closed, just asked.

If a credit card account was closed by the grantor 2 years ago and you were placed on a payment plan and paid on time for those 2 years is it worth reopening the account to imporove credit score?

In a word-nounfortunately, closed accounts will remain AA a negative against yr credit score even though you pay them off on time. after 5 yrs, your credit records should not contain this neg. info., however. Simply opening a new account will not raise your score, only consistent on-time payments of an account will help in that respect. Credit scores are not solely based on cc payments, but also car payments, mortgages, etc. AnswerIf the credit card is in your name and you have been paying on it for the last 2 years on time, it will imorove your score, and could also up your credit limit after it is paid in full. You should check your credit to be sure they are reporting it to your credit as pays as agreed.
