I was finally able to obtain my records of an old Aspire Visa account that went bad years ago.Â
Â
This was the credit card from hell and it was my first credit card.
Â
I am having a hard time finding the “date of first delinquency” because the after June 1st, 2002 all of the descriptions of items  are things like “Late Payment Fee”, “Purchase *finance charge*”, Return NSF (Non Sufficient funds), Late Charges, etc. etc.
Â
I have late payment charges going back to December of 2000, is this the date of first deliquency?
Â
The account eventually closed in March of 2004 with basically 2 years of finance charges and no new purchases. Â
Â
On June 27th 2002, there is something called a “reclassification” with -$1,186.64 charge, everything after that is late fee’s finance charges, overlimit Fee’s etc.Â
Â
Do I go by my first late payment of 30 days late or what is the rule of thumb in determining this?
Â
Experian has taken this off my report but the others TU and EQ said I need to validate this date before they remove it.Â
Â
Thanks in advance!
