NO! When reporting accounts the creditor/collections company, by law, must report it from the date of last activity. If no payments have been made on the charged-off account it should be disputed with both the CRA and the creditor. What they have done is illegal. Here is a different opinion from another FAQ Farmer: I think that response is well, not wrong, but not on point and confusing. A charged off debt is not a forgiven debt. It is only an accounting acknolwegement by the one owed that the amount due the lender is probably not going to be received. It is however still owed. In the question above it is a red herring. Hence, I read the question as the person has an outstanding account and made a payment a year late. In keeping with the first response, this payment is reported as being what it is: One year since last payment (or late). The accounting (short of forgiving it) on the lenders books makes no difference.

Will paying off a credit card account closed by the grantor raise your credit score?

No but if you pay it off before it becomes delinquient it won't hurt it either. WRONG! speaking from experience, yes. if the account is NOT charged-off, but listed as CLOSED, it will raise your score if you lower or pay off the balance. I have a closed (NOT charged-off) CC that had a balance of 2400 and I made a payment of 1700. once posted to my reports, they were raised an average of 37 points. A few weeks later i paid off another closed CC, it was a small payment of 183 which satisfied the account (zero balance). Once posted, 17point increase! I pay close attention to my reports and use several monitoring websites, so i know there were no other changes that contributed to the increase other than the payments mentioned. people on the net are correct about paying off/down a CHARGED-OFF (collections) account will not raise your score. But, a closed account is completely different! Hope this helps

What is payment term open account 50 days?

An "open account" payment term means that goods are shipped and delivered before payment is due, allowing the buyer to pay at a later date. In this case, a term of "50 days" indicates that the buyer has 50 days from the invoice date to make the payment. This arrangement is typically used in international trade and is favorable for buyers, as it provides them with time to sell the goods before settling the payment. However, it carries a higher risk for sellers since they extend credit without immediate payment.

What is a remittance slip?

It is a financial document that is usually sent to a customer of a supplier. It is usually a tear-off part on a statement of accounts. It helps the both the customer and the supplier, it makes it clear which invoices the customer are paying, for example by putting ticks next to them. They can be enclosed with the payment. If the customer did not make it clear what invoice they are paying then later invoices will be paid which would be bad because these have the most trade credit on (the time they have to pay it) the customer wants to pay the earliest invoice so that it is not overdue and they are not charged interest. This will also please the customer. Hope that helped!
