Can old debt be remove from your credit report before 7 years?

Can you sue a creditor for not updateing my credit report after a payment was received?

Creditors update credit reports on their schedule, some update every month, others update every other or every third month. If you are in a hurry, contact the credit bureaus and have them contact the creditor themselves.

You can sue a creditor, but you have to try contacting the creditor first (via mail), then file a complaint with the FTC, then contact the credit bureaus. If the account still hasn't been updated, you can go ahead and sue the creditor.

Why is your answer to the question do you still have to pay a credit card debt after seven years so blatantly wrong?

It's uncertain to whom the question is being addressed but the answer given to the question is somewhat correct.

The only time a valid debt becomes invalid is when the lender/creditor "forgives" the debt. It is likely that the 7 years referred to concerns the time a defaulted debt remains upon the debtor's credit report. A credit report is in no way related to whether or not a debt is still collectible.

All U.S. states have SOL's relating to debts. SOL's determine the time limit which a creditor/lender has to file a civil suit against the debtor(s) for monies owed. However, the expiration of the SOL does not mean the debt is no longer valid and a creditor/collector can continue to pursue the matter by whatever means the laws of the debtor's state allows.

How can you improve your credit score after your bankruptcy is completed?

First of all, I would wait a few months and request a free copy of your credit bureau (by mail) to make sure your bankruptcy is no longer on your file. Hopefully all your creditors with negative ratings are all gone. If you have any creditors with good ratings, you should continue using them because the established creditor is good for your bureau. If you do not have any good creditors then you should try to apply for one or two creditors and keep them in good standing for at least 2 years before applying for more, if necessary. Personally I think 2 or 3 creditors are maximum you should have.

You'll also be charged interest and with most credit cards, interest is charged daily from date of when you purchased your item and not by the statement billing date. That is why it is important to make a payment asap, than to wait till the due date.

ie) if you make a payment even one day after your due date your charged interest.

if you purchased an item on Aug 29 and your billing date is sept 1 and your due date is sept 22 and you miss your payment on the due date.

interest will be calculated daily from aug 29 till full payment is received

if you pay the full payment (including interest) on sept 23 your interest will be less than, if you pay your full payment (including interest) on the next due date of oct 22.
