卡债还晚了叫late payment,欠钱不还那叫Derogatory marks (collections)。不过Derogatory marks也是7-10年从credit report上下架,所以楼主也没错得多离谱,但信用分肯定是不能看了,而且有可能会被银行联盟黑名单。但找小的fintech或者cu的话倒确实是有可能可以复活的。
另外collection最长可以追溯20年,楼主依然有机会被collection找上门。
Derogatory marks on your credit are negative items such as missed payments, collections, repossession and foreclosure . Most derogatory marks stay on your credit reports for about seven years, and one type may linger for up to 10 years.
