Idk where you getting your info from about it not affecting you, I just bought a house 5 months ago and when they ran my credit they asked me about defaulted student loans (which I eventually paid off) from 13 years ago

You have a debit pay it off is my motto, save cash buy everything cash, you don't need a high credit score to buy a house. Staying in debit is not the way to go, just think about that cycle, the only way you can borrow money is by owing money? :huhldup:


Dont worry coli financial advisors will come in here soon enough agreeing and bragging about there fake reward points :bryan:[/QUOTE]

I get ~$500 a year in rewards from using my credit cards, and so does my wife.

If you're going to pay cash anyway, the smarter thing to do is to charge it and get the points so the bank essentially pays you to use their card.:umad:

I just paid 5k worth of credit and loan debts back from when I was in college, just to find out since the accounts were "charged off" paying the debts off won't help my credit score in anyway pretty much.

shyt could only benefit you in a possible case like I'm trying to get a home mortgage and an individual loan specialist may look and say "Oh you paid you debts in full good job, I'll take note of that :obama:". But @ 23 I'm nowhere close to being in that scenario.


And outside of that, it doesn't do shyt, I would have been better off just ignoring the debt for 5 more years and telling any debt collector that called "I don't know what you're talking about, eat a dikk", because if you make a payment toward the debt or even acknowledge it you run the risk of resetting the 7 year countdown for the debt to be knocked off your credit.

At the same time the companies won a judgement against me and that shyt allows them to do a lot to get their money back, so it's not a complete L, but if you have a debt and haven't had a legal judgement won against you, SAY "fukk THE DEBT COLLECTORS"

I've heard of people harassing the debt collectors into deleting the negative items, after they paid. I might have to try that. If you are thinking about paying, try an negoiate a "pay for deletion" agreement, where they promise to delete the negative item after you pay, get that shyt in writing, record the phone call.

Focus on adding positive shyt to your credit report because that negative shyt most times is gonna remain there for 7 years whether you pay them or not.

Don't learn the hard way.:snoop:
I wish somebody had put me on game before I made my move


NEVER pay a credit card or loan debt that's 3 years or older... Might as well ride it out.......... You learned at a young age tho, so hopefully this won't happen again

That's just stupid
Your score will continue to be low as hell for another 4 years
Your gonna pay more in interest for everything until it clears off
