Once I am off the statute of limitations for a debt, can I dispute it to take it off my credit reports? |
THANKS EVERYONE You can dispute the debt, but it's likely to be verified as accurate. If the debt isn't 7 years old yet, it can legally remain on your credit reports until that time has passed. The first 3 people who answered your question are wrong. But I assume you already know they are either collection agents or trolls. The reselling of your debt does not restart the sol nor the 7 year reporting period. After the sol expires, you no longer legally owe the debt anymore. Nopr, it can stay on your credit report for 7 years. And then in a few cases, depending on the debt, the creditor can demand that it stay on for another 7! Ha Ha! Pay your freakin bills! First, despite what some web sites say, there is no "statute of limitations" for a debt. Statute of limitations applies to criminal law not a civil matter like a debt. Second, they're not going to let you off that easy. They'll sell the debt to another company which starts the clock ticking anew. Finally, you can't dispute a valid debt simply because it's been written off as noncollectable. They're not going to put up with that. How about just paying what you owe? There is no statute of limitations on debt. Where this myth comes from I don't know. I have been through this process myself and it didnt end well for me. So I hope you have better results. I assumed a debt was going to fall off due to the so called statute of limitations(which is stated on many debt websites). So I checked my free report and wrote them a letter by certified mail to ask them to take it off my credit report. Before they recieved my letter the person I had the debt through relisted it on my credit report, which I found they can do. You can write to have it taken off if it has been long enough but if the company relists you with a newer date the credit agency goes from the date. Everyone gets in a bind so I understand, but you are going to have to pay it, let it stay on there, or file bankruptcy if you have enough debt. Good Luck!! No. The Statutes of Limitations merely dictate how long after a debt is incurred a creditor can take legal action in an attempt to recover the debt. The SOL has nothing to do with your credit file, nor with the amount of time said debt will remain in your credit file as unpaid. Actually, shelcom, there is a statute of limitations on debt. It's different in every state. To answer your question...you can dispute that debt and any other negative account on your credit report at anytime. It is up to the creditors to verify the debt. If they can't, then it must be deleted. Read the FCRA for full details. |
