H&R Accounts

Thanks!  I'll keep pleading my case until the sick of hearing from me!  ;-)

Just an update.  I haven't any luck with H&R, but I dropped an email to the OC yesterday pleading my case.  I got a call this morning from a very nice lady that asked a a few questions. After answering the questions and explaning the situation, she agreed to call H&R and have the accounts removed, so that's 6 collections (all small amounts), dropping off my reports!!!!  I guess the moral of the story is to be persistent and keep trying.

Him getting lucky with the AU account removal or someone feeling sorry wasn't the case. With AU accounts you have no legal obligation towards the debt, so it can be removed within the snap of a finger. I had an H&R account removed but I can't remember the exact method I used. I believe I disoutes how it was being reported and it was deleted shortly after.

After just looking at the removed collections tab on credit karma, I believe my debt with H&R just naturally aged off. It would be around 7 years old.

These were paid collection accounts so disputing them wasn't an option.  From everything I've been able to research, my only option in getting them removed early was goodwill.

I had success with GW with these guys last year about this time. 

I sent them a snail mail to the address indicated up thread, and then followed up with a phone call a couple of weeks later.

they deleted after the phone call.  I got a letter in the mail from them, indicated they had submitted request for deletion, and poof, it was gone about a week later.

keep trying.
