Kohl's Success!!

highlandfletch — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 04:32:56 GMT

:smileyvery-happy:

Had a very small amount due to Kohl's that got overlooked and went 30 days late about 2 weeks ago. Paid immediately, but it had dropped my score about 40 + points. In addition to sending a GW letter to customer service, I searched out the name of the CEO and just guessed at his email address (tried a couple of combos until I got one that didn't get returned to me). Didn't hear back from him directly, but received an email a couple of minutes ago stating that they are taking the steps to remove the delinquency from all 4 CRA's and that " Your account reflects as current with zero delinquencies" !! In the email the cust. svc. rep specifically mentions the email forwarded to her (director of C.Serv) from the CEO, so it really pays to go directly to the top.

We are in the middle of house hunting and that one new hit was going to make a huge difference in the interest rate we could qualify for. Now if only I can get one last medical issue to disappear... working those HIPAA steps!

Thanks to everyone who helped me with this issue! I am so excited!

HighLandFletch,

I need your guidance in this matter. Same thing has happened to me. I somehow forgot to pay and they reported delinquency. My score has dropped from 765 to 660. I am having sleepless nights because of this. I was just about to refinance and I cannot believe that this happened. I have talked to Kohls Customer service and have not been successful. Please guide me how to write the letter so that I can get this removed as soon as possible

Kind Regards

Tania

Hi Tania,

I sent you a message directly with the contact name and a copy of the email I sent. I hope it helps. Look in the upper right hand corner for the small white envelope and click on it - it should take you to your individual messages.

Let me know if you need any other information.

Good luck!

@RW771: This is a very old thread. If I were you, I would go to the OP's individual page and see if he or she is still active on the site. If so, maybe send a private message. Just a thought. I recently did the same thing, and after 2 weeks, I got a response! That was the best message I've received in a loooong time! Good luck!

Yes, I noticed how old the original thread was but I only found one other thread that addressed this info. and sent the OP of that thread a message as well. I've basically sent 4 GW's to this company and nothing so far, so I thought that maybe if I sent an email or got a hold of someone higher up that maybe I'd have some success with this. I appreciate your suggestion though, I'm definitely going to continue searching since this is the main thing killing me on my CR's. Thanks!

I know this post is from several years ago, but would you happen to have the contact information still? I am looking for 1 single 30 day late deletion. We are desperately seeking a home mortgage!! Thanks!

JW123,

Do you still need the info for Kohl's? Sorry, I haven't been on regularly lately.
