Dear j_casteel,

Our office is in receipt of infromation regarding the above-referenced account. Our client reviewed this account, and in the interest of customer service, this account has been removed from collections. A request was sent to the three national credit bureaus to have this account removed from your credit file. This account is closed with our office.

Should you require any additional information, you may contact Collection Agency at 1-800-123-4567

Sincerely,

Collection Agency

I have been working for a long time to get this removed from my credit reports. This was an incorrect collection placed on my reports by a cable company back in 2007. Every time i disputed it they would just supply info showing that the account was paid, but I never actually paid it and the fee's were credited to my account, but the cable company just reported it as if i paid it. So, after several disputes, long phone calls, and assertiveness the collection has finally been removed. Yay!! No more collections and/or public records on my reports!!!!

if this doesn't update my SW score than I don't know what will!!!

My other 2 scores have been coming up great, but SW hasn't changed since 7/18/12. Maybe this is what I needed for a nice boost?!?

If the removal of this collection results in a score increase, and that increase surpassed your target score (provided nothing else triggers an alert), then you'll see a change. ETA....sometimes the alerts take up to a week because your FICO is only monitored weekly if there are no other changes.

Congratulations!! I love hearing these successes because it makes me think it's possible. I still have yet to get something removed but I'm trying my little heart out!

Thanks for sharing. :-)

Thanks and good luck! It can be a PITA but don't give up.

EQ really taking their sweet time updating this removal. No changes since mid July and I called them today and they said they were still processing everything!

It's the only score I'm worried about right now cause its been stuck and the other 2 have been steadily increasing.
