Can a creditor reopen an account once it has been reported to the credit agencies as a charge off?

Most creditors will say no. What can be done: 1. the creditor can change the rating on the account if you have proof that it was paid on time with the borrower getting a letter stating that they did just that. Follow up with the 3 credit reporting companies to make sure this is done. 2. the creditor can start a whole new account--that will allow you to pay this one on time, giving you a 2nd chance. KEEP ANY LETTER YOU GET THAT CHANGES YOUR REPORT AS THE POSSIBILITY THAT YOU WILL NEED IT AGAIN IS VERY HIGH!!! On a charged off account, most corrections have to be done by hand--alot of times this is not done (for whatever reason) and your letter is the only proof of what was done.


Can a Collection Agency re age an old debt?

A creditor or collector cannot arbitrarily change the date of the DLA in order to negate an SOL or enter on the debtor's credit report or other similar actions. However, if the debtor made an attempt to repay, negotiate a repayment or other such contact with the collector the original DLA becomes moot until the debt is considered defaulted again. If the question refers to the continued collection of a debt after the SOL has expired that is allowable. Debts only become invalid when the creditor or collector who buys the debt "forgives" the money owed. The debtor will then receive a 1099C form which designates the forgive debt as income and it must be reported to the IRS as such.
