I know how Equifax works with 6 years past date of last payment and have had success working with them in the past for a Bell account I paid which actually has been removed.
I just got my TransUnion account today and there is a collection for $60 which is late fees of a movie from 2001 plus interest.
I have fought with the original store and the collection agency and even went as far as Comsumer Affairs complains and privacy complaint because I my membership agreement only said that late fees would be charged to my credit card, which they didn't even ask for.
It is now 7 years later and on the TransUnion it is listed as opened: 06/2005, what is TransUnion's policies? I find it very hard to believe that I have to live with this on my credit file till 2011, for late fees!
