I found this site the other day and it seems to me you guys are pretty knowledgable about this stuff so here goes I just got a look at my credit report for the first time and am VERY confused. This is what it says Total Accounts Count: 33 Balance: $58,999 Current: 28 Delinquent: 3 Other: 2 Now, 9 of these are student loans which figure for $30,713 of the total balance. The others are credit cards that total $28, 286. However, it also says on the bottom - open: 23 Closed:10 The 10 closed accounts though all show as current accounts in other places. Why? Now for my main question. What do these people consider current? In all but 3 of my active accounts I am behind in the payments. I have been sending a little bit every month but they keep calling to tell me I am behind, and then on my report they say I am current. Is it current even if you only pay $5 of the $50 they wanted? Could that be what is ticking off the CA for the three delinquent accounts? These 3 were all charged off in May or June of 2004, so only about a month or so ago. The CA for one of the accounts has already filed arbitration papers. I thought that was awfully fast but if I looked at my credit report (they did right?) and saw 28 current accounts I quess I'd be ticked too. But the accounts aren't really current. Do I tell the CA that and hope they understand? Sorry for the length but I need help.
