Confession

I am really overwhelmed by this whole credit score and report stuff.  I look at my CR and still can't make sense of much of it.  Although I have a few degrees I feel like an idiot.  I do wish I could pay someone to at least tell me what to do because I am lost.

Re: Confession

Post your credit information up on the boards, but ensure you block out and personal information.  This board has done wonders for many individuals like us.

Hi and welcome to Myfico forum!

 

Start with pulling your FREE Credit Report's from annualcreditreport.com. They tend to have more info on them than ones from a 3rd party. The Credit Reports from annualcreditreport.com, come directly from each of the CRA's. You can pull 1 Free Credit Report from TU, EQ and EX every 12 months.

Save your money and Don't Buy the Scores, they are what we call FAKO's.

 

 

I am going to suggest that you start the journey by reading the following threads: 

 

 

What Steps Do I Take?

 

 

That will give you a great place to start!   Also you want to opt out first before contacting these creditors... to opt out go to: www.optoutprescreen.com

 


The next advice I can give is to contact and deal with each creditor one by one. If you wake all the sleeping bears at once you may not be able to deal with them fast enough to avoid a judgment being filed. Best of luck and if you use the search function to search for each of your creditors you can see how others have dealt with them successfully in the past. Best of luck!

Re: Confession

I have my reports and I "opted out".  Tomorrow I will read the rest.  Still feeling overwhelmed but at least I did something instead of complaining for feeling sorry for myself. In such a funk but know it could be worse.  I will share my report...

Here's what I'm looking at...

I really have to look some old checks. I am certain that I paid some of these off with the CA in 2011...  The OC (cap one) is still reporting.

Re: Here's what I'm looking at...

the OC still has the right (And in some capacity the obligation) to continue to report the charged off account(s) for 7 years after the date of first delinquency. Payment Itself will not delete the account entirely. I'm on the iPad at the moment for longer posts are maddening, but when I'm at my computer tomorrow morning I can go into more detail. Though I'm sure someone else will beat me to it by then

 3 1/2 years since the DOFD.  It still carries a balance.  PFD if possible.  May still be in the SOL, save up the money before dealing with them, in case they decide to take you to court.

It's over 5 years old, may be past the SOL, would try for PFD if you could.

Overall, you're not in that bad of shape, nothing that can't be approved on.  Now you should take and tackle these.  Start with the CA and the GWs, save up for the Cap1 accounts.  This can be done!!!!
