Keep GW's going out

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

I agree! Keep goodwilling.. I am still in the same boat, I have ONE account that I can't shake.. I keep trying everything I can think of..

 

It falls off in two years, but ya know ,it doesn't hurt to keep at it.

 

An aside... 10k posts in 6 months! HOLY SMOKES someone has been busy!

Re: Don't Know What Else To Do

I have a CapOne ChargeOff on my record and it had a lot of Lates on it...some 30...some 60...back and forth like that for entire history of account.  It was also paid already, but the lates were still there.  I sent GW letters over and over again and while the charge off is still there, they removed all the lates and my score jumped up a bit.  Nothing else had changed on my report so I assumed it was all the lates going away.  Either way, it doesn't hurt to keep sending out the GWs.
