The original creditor does not remove your information. What is should say in the notes section is that the account has been transfered or sold to a third party collection agency. This information will remain on your account until the 7 year clock expires.
Only the original creditor or the credit bureaus can remove a charge off from a credit report. You can negotiate to have them removed with the original creditor if they will let you. You can also dispute it to the credit bureaus and they will have 30 days to verify the listing or it must be removed from your credit report.
Charge-offs remain on your credit report for 7 years. If the account has been included in a bankruptcy, it should be marked as such...."included in bankruptcy". However, according to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, if you dispute the charge-off with the credit bureau and the creditor can not verify the account, it must be removed from your credit report immediately. Only the original creditor or the credit bureaus can remove a charge off, either through negotiations or through the dispute process.
Credit bureaus and the original creditors have the power to remove late payments. You can contact the original creditor that posted the late payment and ask for them to remove it. They will probably only do this if you have had a good payment history with them. You can also send dispute letters to each of the credit bureaus asking for verification on your negative listings. You can do this yourself or hire credit repair company to do it for you.
I don't know if this helps anyone or not but I know that I have a friend who had went to court several months ago over a dr bill. The judgment was set for her to pay so much a month. She missed a payment and then all of a sudden she started getting bounced check notifications in the mail. when she called to find out what was going on because she and her husband had just been paid, the bank told her that there was a levy put on her account. No. A collections agency can garnish wages. A court can order you to pay up, but no one can go into your checking account and take money away. A checking account can be seized by the IRS or by court order. a collection agency did seize and close my checking account, by court order, without knowing where or even if I had an account. so yes it is possible. this happened 2-20-2006 A creditor must follow due process meaning a winning a lawsuit and having a judgment entered against the debtor defendant and then executing the judgment as a bank account levy. In some cases the creditor will ask the court to "freeze" the funds in the account until the case is heard, this is generally done when there is a reason to believe the debtor will attempt to transfer or remove the money. It's a fairly simple matter for a judgment creditor to find a bank account, especially if they have kept a record of payments made from the account. Joint accounts are also subject to judgment levy except with the exception of marital counts held as TBE. The IRS and/or state tax agents cannot arbitrarily remove money from an account they must have a court order and the debtor must be informed before the account is seized. With the exception of the state of Massachusetts the IRS may only levy a bank account once.
Bank accounts can only be "frozen" by a court order. A lender can request a court to take such action if it can be proven that the debt has plans to remove the funds from such accounts. Bank accounts can also be 'frozen' when they are jointly held so the non debtor account holder can provide documents to the court showing the portion of the funds in the account that belong to them and are exempt from a judgment creditor.
Depends. If the debt (usually credit card) was sold then no. The original creditor will then have nothing to do with having the debt returned. Non-purchased debts can be returned to the creditor depending on the contract they have with the collection agency.
It is unusual for a creditor to send a bill for collections before 30 days past due. If however this happens, your best bet is to contact the original creditor and notify them that you refuse to deal with the collection agency they have hired, that you are requesting a full reconcilliation of your account and the charges, and upon receipt of this you will again contact them to arrange payment. Additionally, request that the creditor call the debt back from the collection agency. It may be necessary for you to notify each party in writing to get collections to stop. Once you have done so, however, be certain to notify the original creditor that they must remove any reference of bad debt from your credit report. Collection law is not difficult to understand, but it can be a bit cumbersome to wade through. Most collection laws fall under the Federal Fair Debt collections Practices Act and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. Each state additionally has Fair Debt Collections laws. See the links below for the FDCPA and Gramm-Leach-Bliley. The state laws are too many and varied to list, but are not difficult to find on line for each state.
Yes, a creditor can remove a charge off from your account and your credit reports. Credit bureaus can also delete charge offs from your credit report if they are disputed and not verified.
Yes a collection can ruin your credit report. Collections are similar to charge offs and will lower your score significantly all depending on the age of the collections and the amount owed. You can remove a collection by disputing it to the credit bureaus or by contacting the original creditor and working out a deal. Either way works well. You might have to hire a credit repair service if you decide to dispute it or have the money to settle the collection if you contact the creditor directly.
No. When an original creditor sells a charged off accounts to another company. I asked the Credit bureau to investgate. However, the creditor is unable to remove it from my credit report. does this start the 7 year clock ticking all over again from the date the credit bureau investigate?

Good question. There are a few tactics to remove collections from your credit report; First, is the debt paid off? If so, the option I would suggest is to write a dispute letter to that specific credit bureau. If the debt has not been paid yet, typically, you can negotiate with the creditor to remove the collection account from your credit report if you pay the debt (WARNING!!! make sure this is stated in writing before you send any money).
