What is re-aging? Credit report terms explained
re-aging explained in plain language for Canadians: what it means on your Equifax or TransUnion report and what you can do.
What re-aging means
Re-aging is changing an account's dates so it stays on your credit report longer than allowed. It is not permitted. If a collection seems newer than it should be, compare its dates with your own records.
