I paid off a CO that I had with Macy's I was told that they would not be able to reinstate my account. But they went ahead and pulled my report and gave me a new account wtih a new account number. The status on the old changed to paid closed The lates were still being report. I was considering to see if they would update it and remove the lates.

If you don't mind, can you please tell is what yoour scores are?

I called the Recovery Services today and was told that they do not change the lates on the old account. I am going to try to GW them to see if that will work.

Keep hammering away with GW requests at monthly intervals. Eventually they may relent. Persistence is the key!

Welcome to the forums!

I'd suggest reading the following:

Common Abbreviations

Credit Scoring 101 - great for knowing what is in your credit score and to see how your score is impacted.

What Steps Do I Take - great for learning the repair process.

and Example letters - PFDs, GWs, DVs, etc.
