How do you determine the date of last activity on your credit report?

The last activity is usually viewed as the last payment made. The rule of thumb is that the SOL begins six months after the account was defaulted on.


How do you find the date of last activity on an account on your credit report?

Where to find this information on a credit report unfortunately depends on where you obtained your credit report from since they (credit bureaus, mortgage lenders, etc.,) can all use different formats. However, there should be a column or section under each creditor/credit item listed that shows "Date of Last Activity", "DLA" or "Last Active". The three major bureaus are pretty good about putting this information in a separate column (near or underneath the Date Opened or Last/Date Reported). If all else fails, contact the creditor/collector directly (not the credit bureaus) for the most accurate information about the Date of Last Activity.
