Hi,
So I've sent an email to the CEO of Discover regarding moving the tradeline from my CR's.
Here is a response:
Thank you for your recent email addressed to David Nelms, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Discover Financial Services regarding adverse reports reflected on your credit file. To ensure your concerns are addressed as efficiently as possible, your letter has been referred to my attention at the Executive Office of Customer Advocacy at Discover. As a member of the Customer Advocacy Group, I have the primary responsibility of researching and responding to inquiries on behalf of the officers and executives of our organization.
While we appreciate your patronage and empathize with any circumstances which prevented you from making a payment, we are unable to comply with your request to remove or alter the credit history previously reported to the credit bureau agencies for your account. The Fair Credit Reporting Act, or FCRA, governs the information that is reported to credit bureau agencies. This act sets specific requirements on what information should be reported, and how the information is used by credit agencies.
Please understand that we have a contractual obligation to report truthful and accurate credit history to be used by other creditors and Discover for determination of a consumer's credit worthiness. Inaccurate credit reporting directly impairs this process. The credit bureau reporting agencies we report to are:
Trans Union Equifax Experian Innovis
PO Box 1000 PO Box 740241 PO Box 2002 PO Box 1689
Chester PA 19022 Atlanta GA 30374 Allen TX 75013 Pittsburgh PA 15230
1-800-916-8800 1-800-685-1111 1-888-397-3742 1-800-540-2505
Should you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at the telephone number below.

Should I wait a few weeks before sending a follow-up email or should I try a different angle? Anyone had success with Discover?
Thanks!

Perhaps a personal call asking for a one-time exception, with a few well-concocted crocodile tears.........
