First Premier...ugh

Got a response from First Premier about a PFD CO, no dice. My question now is, it is scheduled to drop off in November 2014, should I try PFD again or PIF? Will PIF help my scores or have little affect? Thanks in advance!

Re: First Premier...ugh

I would just pay in full for now. Why? It will look better on your report the next two years if you need to apply for credit somewhere.  Although it is still holding your scores back a little bit (what other baddies or lates do you have?) the major impact has occured and is almost over.

Updated scores 3/7/21 TU 849, EQ 829, Ex 818 (all Fico scores) Remember the Three P's: Pay early in Full, Pay on Time, Patience

First Premier is a tough nut to crack.  After a few times trying for a PFD, I'd pay and then GW.  Just my suggestion.  Good Luck!

Re: First Premier...ugh

Has anybody had any luck with a GW??? I've been reading for so long and don't recall a post were anybody was successful in paying and receiving a GW from FP. So pay for future creditors and then just let it fall off when it normally would ??

Re: First Premier...ugh

There are always chances for a GW.  Some are harder to get than others.  I've had ones that say, "We don't do that", only to have the TL mysteriously disappear later.

Re: First Premier...ugh

I am having the same problem.  I have two accounts with First Premier that are charged off and remain until July 2014.  When I do the score simulator it says that if I pay them off my scores will go up, but I have also heard that paying will make the account recent.  Any suggestions???
