Hello everyone,
I have a question. I lived in the USA for about 5 years for school and then work. In 2008, I moved overseas to pursue a job and have been away ever since. When I left thr US my score was at 720 and I have no student loans or debt. I also made sure to pay all my bills.
I got a notice from my bank lately which prompted me to purchase a credit report, which shows my score down to 630 because of a public record dated April 2013. I was not in America at the time and have no knowledge of any bills or unpaid balances. I want to get more information but the info (case number, court number) on the report does not match any of the formats that case numbers usually go by (ie. AA-1234567). I used my state's court website and nothing. Also asked some friends in America to help look and no luck. Before I spend money on long distance calls, I would appreciate it so much if someone could give me some clues as to how to get access to the public record? It is a small amount ($467) and not worth the damage to my score. I just want to get it resolved but I can't without knowing what it is.
thank you very much.
