FAQ
When an account becomes seriously past due, the creditor may decide to turn the account over to an internal collection department or to sell the debt to a collection agency. Once an account is sold to a collection agency, the collection account can then be reported as a separate account on your credit report.
A: Yes. A collection agency can report to the credit bureaus even if you're making payments. Once your debt is transferred from the original creditor to the collection agency, the debt gets a new tradeline on your credit report that's under the control of the collection agency.
In Washington, the statute of limitations on debt collection lawsuits is six years after the date of default or last payment on the debt account. Once a debt is past the statute of limitations, debt collectors can still attempt to collect on these debts, but they cannot file a collection lawsuit.
How a debt in collection affects your credit. In general, collections will remain on your credit reports for seven years from the point the account originally became delinquent. The exception is medical bills that go into collections but are later paid by an insurer; those drop off your credit reports upon being paid.
Civil judgments have a life span provided by state law. In Washington, a judgment lasts for 10 years and can be renewed at the end of that period. Therefore once you have a judgment entered against you it can last a long time and incur a large amount of interest.
For most debts, the time limit is 6 years since you last wrote to them or made a payment. The time limit is longer for mortgage debts. If your home is repossessed and you still owe money on your mortgage, the time limit is 6 years for the interest on the mortgage and 12 years on the main amount.
Unpaid credit card debt is not forgiven after 7 years, however. You could still be sued for unpaid credit card debt after 7 years, and you may or may not be able to use the age of the debt as a winning defense, depending on the state's statute of limitations. In most states, it's between 3 and 10 years.
Only the original creditor can report you as 30, 60, 90 or even 120 days late. Monthly status codes related to delinquencies do not apply to collection agencies. The collection agency should be limited to reporting information such as: Date the collection account was opened.
In most cases, the statute of limitations for a debt will have passed after 10 years. This means a debt collector may still attempt to pursue it (and you technically do still owe it), but they can't typically take legal action against you.
120 - 180 Days Past Due After 120 days, in addition to any other steps made to recover their losses, the lender may turn your outstanding debt over to a collection agency. Once that happens, you can no longer work with your original creditor to make good on the debt.
