First Success!

I'm new to the board and today I had my first success, albeit a small one.  In short, I held an auto loan with Santander USA for about 2 years.  Never had a late payment. Traded the car in last May, but the dealership took 5 months to pay the car off.  They were making the monthly payments, but paid 30 late in July.  Called Santander to explain the situation and the rep agreed to have the late payment changed on my CRs. He submitted the change to the CRAs today and is mailing a confirmation to me.

 

Hope to see the correction within next 30 days.  Now there are just 2 other baddies to resolve. Thanks for the inspiration!!!

Re: First Success!

It absolutely does!  After years of struggling with my credit, I see the light at the end of the tunnel.  Fingers crossed that I can get these last 2 baddies settled!
