Ok first I want to start off saying ohhh how I value everyone's opinion on here and how I love this site. Thank you so much for the info.
Ok to the issue at hand...
A few yrs ago (5 to be exact) my sister needed a car. She had no credit, no money, and just started a job that she couldn't get to (without me taking her), so I really needed her to have a car also. I am sure you know what I am about to say, I had to get a car for her in my name because she couldn't. I know I know I know I know, do not co-sign or let anyone use your credit--trust me it will not happen again!(And kids don't try this at home!!!)
I am the primary signer on the account and she a joint account holder.
My sister lost her job last yr and decided to just not make payments and then when she did make the payments they were late, without telling anyone. Of course, I had no knowledge of this until household bank finally decided to get my REAL information and not what she was telling them. I got the matter taken care of at the time (without a repo).
Now to my question. My CR's are showing 5 30-days and 1 60-day, from 12 months ago. What actions should I take? Should I start by calling the credit dept and if that does not work, GW them. If those two don't work, what it completely hurt me more if I try to have this completely removed from my CR'S?
Sorry for all of the questions I need a plan, as I have not done anything with this account yet and I don't want to go in blind or the wrong way.
Oh BTW the account has been paid for and closed since Nov 07.
Sorry for the winded post, I just needed to fully explain the situation.
Thanks in advance for any information.
