Hello, 

 

I have been working hard to improve my credit score for the last 4 years now. 

I have paid everything on time and simply waited the 7.5 years until negative items dropped. 

 

I just checked my Fico score from Transunion on myfico.com and its listed at 706. 

 

Supposedly the factors hurting my score is that I have a

 

 17% Ratio of your revolving balances to your credit limits

 

Thats fine since i can bring that down to 0% if i wanted to. Its just a credit card that I use monthly and PIF. 

 

However, the next negative thing is a Collection that was originally from Comcast and is now Credit Protection Asso. 

Its been on my report since 2005. I was considering just waiting out the 7.5 years until it drops. 

However, this year I am planning on buying a house and wanted to raise my score as high as possible. 

 

I’m a little confused as to what the DOFD is , and ultimately the SOL. This is what the Transunion report shows

 

Collection on debt to: Comcast Formerly Adelphia

The collection agency “Crd Prt Asso” was hired to collect a debt of $269 originally owed to “Comcast Formerly Adelphia” on account number “XXXXXXXXXX”.

 

 

Collection agency Crd Prt Asso
Original balance $269
Current balance $220
Date assigned  Oct 18, 2005
Original lender  Comcast Formerly Adelphia
Account holder Individual
Account descriptions Account information disputed by consumer

 

 

I ran an equifax Score power report 3 months ago, and this is what it showed.

I live in the state of FLORIDA

 

My questions:

 

1) I am confused because it shows a STATUS DATE and Balance Date of 06/2007. 

How do I compute the date which it will drop from my Credit Reports?

Is it from 06/2007 or 10/2005 ?

 

2) How do I compute the SOL ? Is it from 06/2007 or 10/2005 ?

 

 

2) On this page 

http://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Rebuilding-Your-Credit/What-Steps-Do-I-Take-Do-I-DV-PFD/m-p/337142

 

it advises to not wake up a sleeping giant if you are still in the SOL if you cannot PIF. 

I can PIF, so that is not a problem. 

 

However, I do not want to reset the 7.5 years wait time until it drops from report. 

 

If I try to get rid of this collection, by sending a DV letter CMRRR, will this posibly reset the 7.5 years drop off time?

 

 

Thank you !

 

 

 

 

NCO Financial sent me a print out of a supposed utility breakdown of charges(old electricity bill) The print out does not include the original creditor name, it just shows a table with with transactions and the amount and a total amount due. It also does not include the address for which the electricity was for. The letter they sent with it stated this verified debt was information supplied from the original creditor but did mention the original creditor name.

 Is this acceptable as proof they own the debt? It is for $212.60. I would like to send a PFD but want to make sure they own it.
