The statute of limitations for debt collection varies by state and starts from the account’s default date.

Will this affect my credit score?

  • Account Age: If your account is quite old, then the age of it will positively impact your credit score
  • Repayment History: If the account has no Late Payments, Charge off Payments, then it may reflect a positive impact onto your credit score.

Can it be removed from my credit report?

Yes, with the right strategy, you will be able to remove any account from your report. But you have to be careful to ensure that the account is negative to begin with, or it will negatively impact your credit score.

What is a Debt Broker?

Debt Brokers appear on your report when a company has failed to collect an outstanding debt. If a creditor has sent your debt to a broker, they expect to receive only a portion of any money collected. For them, this is preferable to receiving nothing at all continuing the process of trying to collect your debt themselves. However due to the agressive nature of some collection agencys, you may feel threatened or harrassed by them. However, the good news is that if they inaccurately reported your debt and you take the correct credit repair action, there is a good chance that you will not have to repay and inaccurately reported debt. A deby broker may also sell your debt onto another debt broker if they deem it too hard to collect your debt.
