In my case it was a County Court for a traffic ticket which I was late paying.  I initially called (multiple times) and left messages.  I also sent a letter (addressed specifically to the revenue agent who had been assigned my case). No response.    I then called again, talked to the receptionist and asked for who I could talk to, she gave me the name of a different revenue agent.  I called and left messages for her and also sent another letter.  After a couple of messages, she called me back and said "we don't do that".  I asked her for the name of someone higher up to plead my case with and she refused to give it to me.   I was confused about how to proceed at that point, didn't know how to move up the chain since it was a government agency but through some poking around discovered that office is under the County Treasurer.  I figured out who the County Treasurer was and found an email for her.  Emailed her.  She said she would investigate and get back to me.  She responded with "I'd like to help you but it's illegal..good luck" in a nutshell.   I was pretty bummed, licking my wounds and figuring out my next step (talk to a County Commissioner?) when I got a phone call about a week later from ANOTHER person there saying she was deleting it!  Within a week or so it was off of all 3 reports!   Smiley Happy


Wow! That's great. Did you ever find out who the person who said they were deleting it found out about it?

Re: How many rounds of GWs before you give up?

I have been reading all the posts I can find here about GW's to Cap One.  I was inspired to send an e-mail Sunday night. I started thinking "what if it goes into their spam!"  LOL!  So I also sent a letter to an address I was given by Cap One employee. I actually got a voice mail today from someone in the exec office but she didn't leave me any details.  I am wishing so hard that she says yes and deletes my stuff. I was thinking it must be a good sign that the execs called me (AND ACTUALLY RECEIVED MY E-MAIL).  Will definitely post my results.  (Fingers crossed!!)

Re: How many rounds of GWs before you give up?

I got the collection item removed from my report for CapOne. Whoo hoo!!!  I'm trying to wait and see if they remove a paid judgement for the same company (they might). I don't understand why they put it on twice. It's been over 7 years. That just drags it out... should be illegal. Okay I made a mistake years ago and paid it off ... let 's move on!!!!  Anyway the young lady from exec office said she is sending me a letter. If they don't remove the judgement I'll send that letter to the credit bureas. If they still don't remove I'll try taking the letter to court, however as of now the collection item has been removed as a collection.
