GW campaigns are simply a war of attrition. You keep sending letters until they get tired of you or they finally see the light lol. Last ditch effort is to see if any are reporting incorrectly and get them to remove or fix incorrect listings. Try sending GW letters to executive offices or try emailing and calling as well.
I don't have quite as many left - just some lates that I would LOVE to GW - but i pretty much got the 'pound sand' letters after both attempts - and to EO's. One is on a paid off loan that was paid in full early (last late Nov. 2014 -pd off in mar. 2015) - the other on my curernt auto loan - Chase decided to list my GW attempt as a dispute - so I had to contact the bureaus to correct that - they will be gone from the 24mos history in about 5-6 mos. So I decided to GIVE UP on my GWs - we want a mortgage and I can't risk the dispute claims......I'm understand the tired part. It was fun when You see something happen - just defeating when you dont.......
I guess I'm in the garden now......keep paying on my tax lien until I can PIF
Mine is a STATE tax lien - fortunately the girl in the office has been REALLY nice to me - I am going to try to settle it once I have a chunk - I originally owed almost $4K to the State of Iowa - after payments over the last 5 years (which is way longer than they normally allow - but we had job issues and she worked with me to only pay $50/mo for a LONG TIME - payments are supposed to go up again in January!)
I have about $1150 left to go - I have about $400 in savings - when I get to $600 I'm gonna see if they will take it as payment in full just to be done with me......who knows.......I could pay the sucker off with my AMEX interest free for a year - but that will kill my UTI...... don't want to do that.
$45K is a lot......I assume its federal - I make NO WHERE near 8K a mo - Alone I barely make $3K....add in DH - we might get to $4.5K and his income is sporadic....so that's why stuff only ever gets based on mine.....
Hopefully they will work with you. You hear TV commercials all the time where people settle for like 10% - so who knows......I wish you the best with it... Mine was bad enough - they took my bank accounts, etc. at different points - heck that's how I found out I even had a tax issue.....not fun.
