How to Identify Negative Information


Most credit reports consist of six basic categories:

• CREDITORS, OR LENDERS

• HISTORY OF ACCOUNT

• COMMENTS, REMARKS, DETAILS

• STATUS (when account was opened/closed & current status)

• PUBLIC RECORDS (taxes, liens, judgments, bankruptcies)

• INQUIRIES

These categories may vary, however CRA’S by law have to make it reasonably easy for the general public to understand. Many CRA’S show negative information as codes or symbols. Look for a key or a map to help understand what the codes mean, make note of and highlight any negative entries found.

Negative entries may appear as:

30/60/90 = 30, 60, 90 Days delinquent or past due.

 P&L = Profit and Loss (Creditor considers debt uncollectible)

 C/O = Charged Off (Bad Debt, Balance still owed.)

 COLL = Seriously Delinquent, (usually sold to a collection agency).

 REPO = Voluntary or involuntary repossession of merchandise. (usually associated with a vehicle)

 BANKRUPTCY = Chapter 7 , 11 , 13.

debt owed.

 JUDGMENTS, GARNISHMENTS, LIENS = Legally recorded.

 DEBT MANAGEMENT/CREDIT COUNSELING = Enrollment in a financial help program that reduces interest rates and fees, implying you may be having financial difficulty, may also be reported as a third party paying your bills. Many prospective lenders will view this as a chapter 13 bankruptcy or hardship program.

 Duplicate accounts = (Same account reported more than once.) = This will imply that you have more outstanding debt then you actually owe, and may lower your credit rating
