I just recently(less than 2 weeks ago) submitted a dispute on my CR for a collection whos DoFD was in 199 yet it was still being reported to all 3 agencies. Not sure exactly who but Im guessing the CA changed the DoFD? I can't remember which FAKO site I went to a couple of weeks ago but it showed that the DoFD being reported as 2005 which was when the collection was resold to a different CA.
Well EQ just reported back today after less than 2 weeks that they deleted the item off my CR. So they must have determined it was past the 7 years? I haven't heard back from EX or TU yet but my question is, is it safe to assume that the other 2 CRA's will follow suit as well?
Thanks all.
I hope it turns out for you that all 3 CRA's delete but they are independent of one another and what one does is not binding on the others. Generally they don't talk to one another unless it has to do with a fraud alert.
Edited because I can't count. (Don't ask).
From a BK years ago to:
EX - 3/11 pulled by lender- 835, EQ - 2/11-816, TU - 2/11-782
"Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they've made a difference. The Marines don't have that problem".
Did you dispute it with EX and TU?
It is hard to say what they will do. I believe they use different databases to verify.
It happens frequently as one of the posters said the CRA's are independent of each other so results from one do not necessarily translate to the other. I had a medical collection that I was disputing in the past drop off TU with no issues it took a few more months to get it off EQ and EX but as they say YMMV.
It happens all the time. One CRA will delete, the others won't.
It depends on how they verify the account.
When you dispute through a CRA, they very seldom actually contact the creditor. They use a database, e-oscar, for verification. If it's in there, you are verified.
Do you have concrete proof the DoFD is 1999?
If you do, do a direct dispute with the CA and provide the proof to them. Only do this if the TLs don't get deleted through the CRA dispute.
If it was removed due to a dispute, a TL can be reinserted. If it is the CRA has 5 business days to notify you, which they seldom do.
