Please, tell me if this is weird/legal: I have a July 2001 Experian credit report that shows a Universal/AT&T MC dated for Oct. 2001 drop off… {My original date of delinquency to Universal/AT&T MC, was March 1993, but I made my very last payment to collections Feb. 1994. Based on that, October 2001 as the date for this item to drop off is acceptable.} On Experian CR dated Nov. 2001, this same item shows a new date of Oct. 2009 as the end date for reporting. {Coincidentally, ONLY Experian reports this account at all.} How is that possible? Is it legal, and if so, how is it legal? I would really appreciate feedback, since CAMCO is attempting to collect on this now. I wouldn't have looked thru these papers if they weren't attempting to collect on this…
I admit I should have followed up back in 2001...better late than never?? The fact that this item is part of the "accounts in good standing" section is probably why I let it be. And the status reflects "transferred" and "purchased by another lender". Additional confirmation, from my perspective, that it’s too old to be collectable. I know that I am well outside the 7-year rule, so I’m not really freaked out. Just confused… Anyone have any input on this?? Thank YOU!!!
