deleted an old Cap One tradline
Did you send a goodwill letter to them for that? Fax or Registered? I am having no luck with them so far.
gpeach,
I also had an old charged off Cap One deleted. It was charged off in Jan 08, I paid in Feb 08, and 2 months ago sent a GW to the basic Salt Lake City PO Box. It was deleted without any reply. I was very excited.
If you can't get it done with a GW, then try disputing different things with the CRA. Hopefully they won't answer. Good Luck.
Can you explain why you disputed these entries? Were they inaccurate, did not belong to you?
You do not really explain in your post.
SOL- statute of limitations for a lawsuit- varies by state- My state's SOL is 4 years. The time it reports on the CRAs is 7.5 years. Two different items.
The SOL on my CRAP1 account has expired, so I dont have to worry about a lawsuit, however it will remain on my credit reports for 2.5 more years. Everytime I disput it gets noted as CO and I think that is hurting my scores- It had been updating as OK- for years- (still listed as charge-off) until I disputed hoping to get the entire TL deleted- now itjust updates as CO. I'm no expert on how scoring works- but I think my disputing has caused damage to my score.

Sorry, I was just so excited and tired last night when I got in that I just wanted to get the basics down. Actually, I think everything was accurate on the accounts I disputed. I had tried numerous GWs to Cap One and Citi as well as the CA. After getting the "reporting accurate" spiel from them, I decided to just dispute them.
For Cap 1 and Citi, I just said that they were reporting missed payments that I didn't make and that I wanted them to either correct or delete the tradelines. Citi was deleted and Cap 1 kept reporting but erased the lates.
For the CA, I stated that the account number, check, and dates didn't match the "info" in my files. That was removed as well.
As for why did I dispute....well, because I had nothing to lose.
