| I really need help in understanding the CR First of all Hannah, I just read you were hurt and I am sorry to hear that. I hope you are doing well.
In my other post all I need is for someone to pick one of the TL's and show me the best way to dispute--
Engima showed me what to write on one. Which will help with others that are similar.
I really don't know if any of them are reporting with serious violations.
I have my EQ now and it appears there are many errors and I think when you have a blank its a violation as its not accurate if its blank.
My questions are if anyone is willing to help:
Cap One
balance amount xxx
date of last payment -blank
acturral payment amount---blank
Date of last activity 6/2002
Date Maj del 1st reported 12/2003-------how can this be accurate if you never made a payment on the account and it was opened 6/2002----isn't the sol 7 yrs from the first deliquency
Is this reaging.
These dates are total different on EXP
Everything else is blank
OC---P (mycode for me)
date opened--- 8/2000
high credit--blank
credit limit---xxxx terms---blank
terms/freq----monthly
activity ----transfer/sold/paid
items as of date of reported 11/2006
balance amount ---0
amount past due---blank
date of last payment---11/202
Act Payment amount---xxx
Scheduled amount xxx
date of last activity---3/2003
Date maj del 1st reported---BLANK
rest is blank
OC---PJ
Date opened 7/200
Credit limit---xxxx
terms frequency-monthly

items as of date reported---12/2005
balance amount ---0
date of last payment---2/2005

High Credit
Items as of date reported :
Balance xx,xxx
Past due amount---xx,xxx
Date of last activity---3/2002
No date of major del 1st reported
It has consumer disputes
All of these are on my report, mix matched with the good credit, you have to read through the reports to find the collection ones--is that a violation
On page 3 it has my personal ID info explanation of account info and then there is a section ofr Collection agency info
COLLECTION AGENCY INFORMATION (THIS SEION INCLUDES ACCOUNTS THAT CREDIT GRANTORS HAVE PLACE FOR COLLECTION WITH A COLLECTION AGENCY)
Cavarly Portfolio Services: Collection Reported 07/2007
Assigned --04/2004
Creditor Class--Banking
Client--OC
Amont-xxxx
Status as of 07/2007---Unpaid
Date of 1st delinquency ---12/2002
Bal as of 07/2007---xxxx
ADDITION INFORMATION---Consumer Disputes this Account
Information: Arrangement Made to Make Partial Payment---SO UNTRUE
Any help on the blanks or if there is reaging going on or any violation that anyone sees will help me know what to dispute and how to dispute it.
Thanks |

| Engima, I found one of Tower's threads and he said that if a OC/CA/JDB has not updated the account to reflect new data for more than 2 yrs then its OK to use not mine.
What do you think, I know I have tried it and it didn't work for me, any thoughts.
I think I remeber reading in place of not mine you would use I never opened an account with any during the month they have.
How does this sound:
I never opened an account with any creditor in the month of Dec 2006. This account is inaccurately reporting as a charge off as of Sep 2006. Further the creditor is incorrectly reporting the date of first delinquency.
If the date of first delinquency can't be verified you must delete this trade line.
Would I also write pursuant to FCRA (I have to look up) you are required to report accurate information |

| There is no such critter as a minor inaccuracies. The report is either correct or it is not.
Since you are dealing with Capital One, it has been my experience that they only way to have the account reported accurately is suing them. Capital One in my opinion does what Capital One wants to do even if it has knowledge it is possibly in violation of the law.
To save yourself considerable hassle and frustration, call the attorney I referred you to. She is damn good at what she does, let her work her magic.

Would I also write pursuant to FCRA (I have to look up) you are required to report accurate information | If the account is actually yours and you use a "not mine" dispute, then you run the risk of having your disputes flagged as frivolous.
Why would you say you never opened an account in Dec '06 then in the next sentence claim it was not charged off in Sept '06? Unless this is two different accounts. Then I would do one account per letter.
IF the DOFD cannot be verified they are not required to delete the reporting. Read section 623(a)(5).

I guess they must be getting too big for their own good.

| According to Metro 2, what they use it says they must use the date the account was opened if unable to verify. I thought I read if they can't verify they have to remove somewhere else. I wanted to know how to word to get it removed --- or at least make sure when I dispute they continue to violate.
I will read 623
I am going to call her, but I want to be able to be concise and know what I am talking about. If she ask me if it was reaged I couldn't answer that question with confidence or any other question.
I am reading to the point I am crossed eyed. |

Get all you papers in order, jot down some notes about each one, what you have done, etc. Then give her a call. Let her worry about the minutia.

| Ruby, we can't tell you if it has been reaged. Is the DOFD accurate? You might dispute that you have never had an account with XXX that you have made payment arrangments with.

| Read the title of the line again. Its not the Date of First Major Delinquency, its the Date First Major Delinquency Reported . Basically its as useful as Experian's Status Date. It is not reaging.

| What is reaging on EQ?
On EQ there is only one account that is Cavarly that is in a box that says collection agency information, all the other TL's are mixed with the good accounts.
Does that mean they are reporting as open? |

No the dofd is the date of last payment on some, on some its the date they bought the account not when the account went late the first 30 days. I believe there was a discussion on AOC or DB. Not sure who made a point to say that the first 30 days late would be the dofd since the following month they made demand for payment.
5) Duty to provide notice of delinquency of accounts. A person who furnishes information to a consumer reporting agency regarding a delinquent account being placed for collection, charged to profit or loss, or subjected to any similar action shall, not later than 90 days after furnishing the information, notify the agency of the month and year of the commencement of the delinquency that immediately preceded the action.
We were also discussion SoL for Florida along with this.
I have an old cr from TU (2002) it shows that the OC stated the first deliquency occured 4/2001 the account was closed in 8/2001 but if you do the math on the past due amount and monthly payment it was 8 months late then so the dofd was 12/2000. The OC is no longer reporting they deleted on my last dispute, for the cavarly one. The dolp (partial) was 10/02--this is the date the are using.
the other biggie didn't buy the account until 2004, I don't have a credit report until 2006 so I have nothing to compare. |

| I beleive this is 605 (c)
1) In general. The 7-year period referred to in paragraphs (4) and (6) ** of subsection (a) shall begin, with respect to any delinquent account that is placed for collection (internally or by referral to a third party, whichever is earlier), charged to profit and loss, or subjected to any similar action, upon the expiration of the 180-day period beginning on the date of the commencement of the delinquency which immediately preceded the collection activity, charge to profit and loss, or similar action.
Any case law in 11th district on this---collections internally or any other similar action----so I have to call the OC and say when did any of these go to internal collections or when did they close the accounts.
It still doesn't matter they are reaging since they are using the date of last payment when the accounts were closed 1-2 years prior to that.
Am I correct on this assumption. |

That is the only date you need to calculate the 7 year period. They had 90 days from the time they started reporting to provide that date to the CRA. If they do not have that date, then the Metro 2 says to use the date the account was opened to avoid the possibility of reporting an obsolete account.
It really doesn't matter when they started collections or charged off. The only date you should ever be concerned with is the Date of First Delinquency where the account never became current again. The similar action is merely items that are similar to a charge off. A repo would be one example. |

| Thank you Pale Rider, that's what I thought it was from the first 30 days late and never brought current. |

Does that mean they are reporting as open? | Look at the Loan Type, Comments, and everywhere else on the TL to see if they are reporting as an Open Type Account.
