Confused about the negatives on formal credit report

dont use your cards for a month, it takes a month for bureaus to update, bring to 0 debt .  The credit too is just a bogus excuse

Insurance company has not paid hospital bill.

If they havent paid, sue the person directly, by law the insurance company must represent him, then ask for his pay check to be deducted and go after his accounts, let him sue the insurance comapny.

the statute of limitation on credit cards

send them a cease and desist letter via certified mail if SOL is over. They cant take money without suing, and they cant do that anymore.

what's the chance of getting a credit card approved if u have the credit score of 742?

how old is your credit history?? , i would recommend a credit union. stay away from chase. also get an Amex ZYNC, start a history with amex . charge card and credit will help show different types of credit.

Son did not make student loan payment and has now ruined our credit

yes, if it is through the gvt then he can do loan rehabiliation. expect 6-9 months minimum, then he will need to consilidate when loans are current and they will remove derogs.
