Most negative items should automatically fall off your credit reports seven years from the date of your first missed payment, at which point your credit scores may start rising. But if you are otherwise using credit responsibly, your score may rebound to its starting point within three months to six years.

The 7-in-7 rule explained Collectors are permitted to place a call to the consumer about a particular debt seven (7) times within a period of seven (7) consecutive days, so long as no contact is made with the consumer in any of the attempts.

In this letter, you should include: Your name and address. Collection agency's name and address. Acknowledgment of contact from a collection agency, including the date they contacted you. A statement saying you dispute the debt. Request for proof that the debt is valid and belongs to you.

If you doubt that you owe a debt, or that the amount owed is not accurate, your best recourse is to send a debt dispute letter to the collection agency asking that the debt be validated. ?An effective debt-dispute letter must be clear and concise,? says Daniel Chan, Chief Technology Officer for Marketplace Fairness.
