i missed a call from card services the other day figured it was for the GF. didnt give it a second thought. till i checked my email today basically saying i haved made a payment in 4 months etc etc and they were going to turn me over to collections.
i use online banking and somehow my 100 dollar a month payment was getting routed to my savings account. instead of to my fathers account.
its aspose to go like this.
my dad has all are bills "mine,his the business and my half sister all to one account"
7 days before the bill is due the money is transferred to that account "we all have separate personal accounts" and the bills are payed automatically. worked fine for the past 2 years.
something got changed and my capital one payment has not been going out for 4 months. and i now owe them 1000 bucks credit limit was 800 after the late fees it gave me the over drawn fees etc etc.
i sent them 100 dollar payment. and am going to just pay it off completely the next payment and cancel the card " only reason i had it was a gas card when i was going back and forth to Miami 3 times a week.
my question is how bad has this screwed my credit? i am 18 and this was my first card. also my dad is trying to tell me that paying it off in one sum will hurt it worse. and that i should do it over the next 8-10 months. any truth to this.
basically im just trying to get out of this hole with out caving it in
