It is from the last payment made. You should never pay a collector because they do NOT have a contract with you. You can always dispute negatives on your credit report. However, there is an art to getting them consistently off. I have 20+ years helping people with a 100% success rate. You need to know the laws, stay up on any changes in the laws or new laws, state statutes, case laws, and more. I give out lots of free info on my blog. futureficocreditrepair dot blogspot dot com. (You have to put in the periods for the dots!)

The debt collection business has become a taboo business to even hear or handle. At least such verdicts will pave way for further justice to the troubled debtors community.

So what these companies are doing is selling the debt shortly before its time to remove it from your credit report to start the process all over again. I was also told that if you send letters to the big 3 credit agencies and have them ask on your behalf for the “original” agreement you signed with the debt collector and the debt collector can’t produce it, the agency will remove the reporting.

You know, the one’s who buy up old debt for a fraction of a cent on the dollar! Even though his old debts were discharged by bankruptcy court (he lost everything, by the way,) they still tried to come after him, illegally, for these old discharged debts. The scam is, which most people don’t realize, is that if they crooks can browbeat/con/coerce you to sand them ANYTHING, this reestablishes the debt. The logic is :”Well, you paid something on it, you MUST owe on it!

His lawyer sent the crooks a letter stating ………NOT! That was the last he heard, but he was sweating bullets there for a while. I wonder how many others are not so fortunate?
