2 Questions...

When opting out from crediting with whom I am good standing with, what is good standing?  I have 2 open accts that I have been in good standing with for 2 years-previous to that I had lates, does this count to opt out of? 

 

Also, I am getting ready to do the HIPPA process, why is it important to "update" my addresses?  My previous addresses are listed and it's correct.  If I call them up and tell them I have never lived at the prev addy and have it disputed then I am lying.  I don't feel comfortable with that.  So what is the reason for doing this?

 

TIA! =)

I know nothing about the HIPAA process. I will let others advise on this.

Re: 2 Questions...

I concur with MVV.  I think that opting out with a creditor to whom you owe money NOW is the thing that is the concern - a sleeping giants thing.  And I don't know what the deal is with the address thing - I know I didn't do it.  I'm on step 2 right now - just mailed on Thursday.

by "step 2", I mean "letter 2: letter to OC"
