I PIF an acct for an ambulance service (they refused a PFD), and this CA was dead set on leaving this marked as paid on my CR'S. I'm thankful for learning about the GW letter's here. I did send one to the CA attn: CEO and got my letter back in the mail today and at the bottom it said it would be removed from all bureaus in 14 days!!
Now I am waiting on one more for TRANSFINANCIAL. They seem just as stubborn. Hopefully they aren't since these are very recent accounts. If I can get this one taken off, that will be all baddies.
I have seriously learned my lesson about trashing mail, thinking medicare took care of the bill!! Even though the deductible's paid for the year, and co-pay's paid in the Dr's office, doesn't mean the bill was paid completely.
I do thank everyone here on these forums for learning so much on how to go about alternatives to help with the CA's I paid (and didn't know about PFD's) and managing my credit. You guys are the bestest!!
