To remove old debt from your credit report, you can start by checking the statute of limitations on the debt in your state. If the debt is past this limit, you can dispute it with the credit bureaus as "time-barred" and request its removal. You can also negotiate with the creditor to settle the debt or pay it off in exchange for them removing it from your report. Additionally, you can work with a credit repair agency to help you navigate the process.

Yes and no. What the original credit agency should be reporting is that the debt was transferred to a new collector. Once you have proof that the debt was paid in full, you should be able to provide all creditors that are reporting negative info regarding that debt that this is the case and they should mark your records accordingly with a zero balance. It is really entirely up to them as to whether or not they totally remove the entry from your credit report.

How can a credit repair service help individuals who are deep in debt?

A credit repair service can be helpful to individuals who may have misinformation on their credit report. For a fee, a credit repair service will fight on your behalf to remove any old or untrue information on your credit report. Since most credit card companies use your credit score to raise your interest rates, it may help to lower your current interest rates on credit cards you have or are currently paying on. If your payments are lower, it will free up cash to pay down the debt faster.


Can a judgment be placed on your home or wages garnished from a 15-16-year-old credit card debt and can they legally place this debt on your credit report after this period of time?

The tricky thing about credit cards is that they never expire so no matter how old it is, they can call it in for collection now and put a lien on your home. If the debt is still active, then it can be on your credit report as well. It has to be settled in order for it to go the full 7 years and dissappear from your record.
