ok i just turned 18 yrs old and i had a debt about a cell phone that i owned but once i turned 18 i paid it off.. but why does it say it'll remain under my creit for seven years,,,
experian says:
Credit reporting agencies like Experian are governed by the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and companion state laws. The FCRA permits us to list positive information on your credit report indefinitely, although it generally remains up to 10 years. Accurate negative information - such as a late payment or an account turned over to a collection agency - can remain on your credit report for seven years. Bankruptcies may remain on your credit report for up to 10 years. Unpaid tax liens may remain for up to 15 years.
what does this mean? because evn wen i want to apply for a store card (like target, macys, bestbuy) or a credit card, they dont let me because they say i have an outstanding debt....
On three occaisions, Equifax "verified" inaccurate information in my credit report in violation of the fair credit reporting act. I am ready to hire a lawyer and sue for seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars for defamation and damages for emotional distress. And I was denied credit as a result of their inaccurate reporting. Have you heard of, or have you won, a suit in similar circumstances?
Thanks.
