Re: Consumer Finance Loans

I don't think you can get them off.  FICO does not really like them, but if they are all good payment histories it is better than bad payment histories.  Smiley Happy

How thin or full is your report? I think a solid, credible argument could be made that since these are negative TLs you could dispute them with the CRAs as too old to report. I say dispute them.
