Additional Details
just for info I am not using any kind of credit counseling the bank is offering me to lower the rate and put me on a hardship program since I did tell them I recently had a death in the family and had used all money to help pay for this funeral they just didnt make it clear if it will effect my credit report

yes it is still considered late pay they are only giving you the opportunity to settle your debt. paying it will show good faith even if late. you won't get a charge off by doing it this way. which would give you a worse rating.


AmoreRose
yes

no credit use in future, ok?

yes...this will affect your credit.


boohoohoo
I would say you need to ask the credit card company itself to get a full idea of what will happen. That said, I would be very surprised if it did not have some sort of effect on your credit rating.

Yes it will effect your cerdit score. A lot of people don't know it, but when you seek any type of credit counciling it is reported on your report and stays there for 7 years, just like any debt or credit that is reported. When a creditor sees that they basicaly see someone who couldn't manage their credit on their own & had to seek professional help. I would suggest trying to pay it off on your own if that is possible, even send in a little more than the standard payment. Anything over your standard payment will go toward the principal instead of the intrest and will pay it off quicker. If you do have to turn to a credit counsilor, find a free one. The ones that charge you any kind of fee at all are not legitimate.

enrolling in a hardship program,no need when you can forward HARDSHIP letters yourself--some progrms are crap

I know it sounds a good idea, and in the short term will undoubtedly help you out, but it definitely does affect your credit status, especially as the account has already been closed and that fact is already on your credit report.

It will only affect it as a positive. They'll show that you're paying it off, and steady payments help.

If you want to start repairing your credit start here:

http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/credit/repair.shtm

It's a government site, it tells a good amount about credit repair and the warning signs of bad repair companies.

More importantly is the dispute form at the bottom. Once you get all your credit in a pile you should get your free credit report (1 a year) Then send in those dispute forms for everything on there that's been paid or taken care of or that you do dispute.

Most of those will disappear after that because it forces the debtors to take action, and if they've been taken care of they won't so it'll go away.

Good luck with coming back, you can do it, I know.
