What else can I help you with?
Does disputing unauthorized charges lower one's credit score?
No it should have no affect on your CR. All charges that a consumer feels are invalid should be challenged. With the CRA and with the credit issuer.
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/
Can an joint account affect a credit score?

Will a dispute letter renew the date of last activity on a collection debt?
The letter itself will not change a DLA. The Date of Last Activity is SUPPOSED to be the date you last made a charge on the account, the date you acquired service, or 6 months from the date of last delinquency (if there is no other way to establish the DLA). Many collection agencies sidestep the Fair Credit Reporting Acts' statute of limitations by not reporting DLA's at all. How can they be expected to remove an account that is past the statute of limitations if they don't have the DLA? (tricky, huh?) Disputing a collection account will change the date the account was last reported on the bureaus. This date, much more than the DLA will cause the account to affect your credit score.
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.

Does poor credit affect getting a checking account?
Yes, it can. Banks feel that they are taking a risk on someone who has bad credit. Most lending institutions think that you will write "bad checks" and not be able to pay for them, thus leaving them to charge off the account. If you have bad credit, they think that you can't manage money.
How does having a checking account impact my credit score?
Having a checking account does not directly impact your credit score. Your credit score is based on your credit history and how you manage credit accounts, such as credit cards and loans. However, having a checking account can indirectly affect your credit score by helping you manage your finances responsibly, which can lead to better overall financial health and potentially improve your creditworthiness in the long run.
