I've seen this done before. It's the credit report agency who determines it counts as being delinquent; not the actual creditor. It will be fine once you are done with the payment program but it'll hurt for now.

Can you tell when a 30 day delinquent was put on your credit report?
I just had my credit reviewed. It showed me exactly which payments were 30 days late by show the month and year of every late payment I had (and even 90 and 120 days). But it did not show what day they reported it. There were also some late payments I knew I had, but did not show up because the company did not report it. Ask the company how long after a delenquency will they report it, they will usually tell you. It is is only or first offense and you don't make a habbit of it you are probably going to be okay.

Yes, addresses come up on a credit report. Generally, the most recent four addresses are represented on a credit report - the current address and the three prior addresses.

Be sure to check your credit report from each provider at least once per year and request updates to addresses that are out of date.

Is a bad debt erased after 7 years?
No it is NOT! You have to get your credit report to see when the creditor last updated their report to the credit reporting agency. If the creditor chooses to report this bad debt every month than your bad debt will only be erased from the last update. For example: You have a bad debt from a Sears credit card from Jan of 2010. Each month Sears has reported your bad debt to Trans Union or one of the other agencies. The new date is from the last time they updated your credit report NOT from Jan of 2010. They can update it every month for the next 20 years and it will stay as a bad debt and ruin your credit report score. Legal to do it too.

How do you fix your credit on your credit reports?
This depends on what is wrong with your credit report. If you have accounts sent to collections, then you need to pay them off and wait for seven years for them to drop off your credit report. If you have late payments, start paying on time each and every month. If you are using more than 30% of your available credit, then pay off some of your debt until you are below 30%. Those are just some of the many ways to "fix" your credit.
