Hi All,
Thanks very much for your help and advice. I did fax submission and received notification in the mail today from EX and TU that the lien has been deleted from my CR. I ran a new 3 bureau FICO and it has been deleted from EQ as well. This is fantastic news!
Now....drum roll......My scores changed.... almost nothing! As of today:
EQ - 604
TU - 624
EX - 651
They likely would have gone up more, but they reduced due to inquiries since I am in the process of securing a mortgage, so inquiries went on at the same time. When all is said and done I am assuming the jump without other factors equates to about 20 points.
I will take it. Good lusk to all of you in your future repairs and battles with the evil empire!
