Question by roberta1126: Can a collection agency pull a consumer’s credit report after the debt is past statute of limitations?
It is listed as a hard credit inquiry on debt that is past statute of limitations for both reporting and legal collection. It is past the sol on credit reporting and is time-barred for collection through the courts.

Answer by swflsteelerfan
Pay attention closely. Credit can be pulled from any and all agencies regardless of length of time. Most if not all companies will sell their old debt to another collection agency, thus keeping the old debt still active, regardless of time.

Question by Mini Midas: Is there a honest rating of consumer credit counseling services out there?


Best answer:

Answer by Steveo
Yes, and it’s from the FTC. If you mean credit repair services, then the FTC says that they are all scams. They make suggestions on where to find logical companies and such. Just beware. You can’t find too many sources that will be as good as this paper for a honest rating.

Question by dclaw0508: In the U.S., will placing fraud alerts with consumer credit reporting agencies reduce your credit score?
In the U.S., the three studying credit reporting agencies are Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. Each of these agencies and private companies (e.g., Lifelock) soliciting credit monitoring services. Private companies generally file fraud alerts every 90 days with one of the agencies. Consumers can of course do this themselves for free. My question is whether a consumer’s credit rating with the credit reporting agencies can or likely-will be cutting by doing so?Thank you.

Question by : Why does the government regulate consumer credit. But not commercial credit?
I am writing a research paper, someone please help me. Provide your sources too please! It is very hard because I cannot find direct answers anwhere.

Best answer:

Answer by efflandt
If you are going to successfully run a business, you should know what you are doing, or hire someone who does. There is more to gain or lose (from borrower or lender), so somewhat more clout is involved depending upon the size of the company.Consumers should really pay attention to what they are doing too. The information is out there on the internet. But many don’t want to learn and are therefore clueless. And an individual does not have much clout with a lender, so the government steps in with certain regulations.

Question by graygurl26: Have you used Consumer Credit Counseling Service or Christian Crossroads Debt Management program?
If so delight give me some feedback on your experience.

Best answer:

Answer by Mightymo
No I haven’t. I made myself a budget on the computer and stuck to it. Before I spend my money I paid myself $ 50 and put it in a savings been, then I paid one credit card the minimum and one Credit card $ 50 more then minimum and the next pay I did it the opposite, this way I got down from the carded faster. It took me 2 years but I did it, even though I considered declaring personal bancrupcy but decided that I couldn’t do it for embarrassment. I just stop spending and before I bought habilitated I honestly cosidered whether I really needed them and then I checked out second hand stores and now that I have money, I still buy my jeans at the second hand store. Great jeans for $ 5, already soft and worn in and most are name brands, the same for jackets and coats. I found things that were brandnew, a spring jacket or $ 3.50 never worn. You need to be imaginative and patient when you look for stuff and want to save money.Good luck, maybe someone else tin give you advise on the Credit Counselling Service.
