If you receive a letter from a collection agency regarding a really old debt, you can ignore it (if it has already dropped off your credit report) but doing so will mean they will continue to send letters every year no matter where you move to. It also means that they have access to your credit report (as a soft inquiry).

And so, it is with great trepidation that many of us face the untenable prospect of trashing our good credit standing by missing payments as part of a real estate workout with the lenders. But, tough times require tough decisions by tough people. And, like in any impending emergency we can minimize the damage and speed the recovery by understanding it and preparing for it. Specifically, you should know: 1) how the credit rating system works, 2) how much damage will be done by a mortgage late payment, short sale, deed-in lieu, foreclosure, and bankruptcy, 3) street-smart ways to minimize the damage and 4) street-smart ways to speed our recovery.
