Can collection agency collect or report if charge off accounts are deleted after 7 yrs?

Attempt to collect: yes they can attempt to collect long after the 7yr tradeline expiration date. Report: no since the very first account default triggers the 7yr deletion timer not when the collection agency receives it from the original creditor.


How long does it take for a debt collection agency to collect a debt?

A debt collector can attempt to collect on a debt for as long as she wants. She cannot, however, bring legal action against you once the statute of limitations has expired. At this point, she may still attempt to contact you by phone and written correspondence, but that is legally the extent of the actions.


Do you have to pay a 1000 credit card charge off from 14 years ago?

In all likelihood the statute of limitations has expired and the holder of the debt cannot pursue legal action to recover monies owed, but it is not unusual for collectors to attempt to collect such debts, often, unfortunately through intimidation tactics. It would be in the best interest of the debtor to research the laws of the state in which he or she resides concerning this matter. Likewise, the debtor should not make any payment and/or payment agreement either verbally or in writing to repay the debt without having explored all the options. A debt of that age could not become a valid entry on the debtor's credit report.
