No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
I am looking to get a pre-approved for a mortgage soon and so I pulled my TU score from this site and it is currently 680.
It told me "the Bad' was my credit card debt, it was 7050/7200 max.
I brought it down to 0/1200, 0/600 and 950/3300 for a total of 950/5100 ( 1 company immediately killed my credit limit upon my paying the balance down to 0)
I am a student and have 6100 of deferred loans.
I have a car loan with 2500/15900 remaining.
My oldest account is 10 years, which is the 950/3300 cap one card, ave is 5 years over 13 different accounts.
I have 2 negatives on my account:
1: verizon 60$ - May 2006, This was a mistake on verizons account from something... the date is when I signed up for a family plan, they somehow made a mistake on the second line and as I recall I had to sign the papers twice. I disputed it on my report, but think I will send them a GW letter, because I still have my active family plan and have paid between 100-150 per month for the last 5 years, and 60 bucks is pretty insignificant compared to the 6-9k dollars ive made them in service.
2: Collection by NCO/ Sbc - 188$ - listed on report as 4/20/07, but happened 4/20/06, and havnt paid them since then. This was due to not having service long enough - They gave me a 200$ fee for not having service for 1 year, when in reality I paid for 1 year, but since I moved before the date was up they credited my account 12$ and then gave me a 200$ fee (jackasses...)
I was planning on DV''ing them and if I get a response trying to PFD, but all of the links in the the sticky about DV are dead.
Can these get corrected please =)
Any advice on what my next step should be? Maybe a friendly contact E-mail for verizon? I as hoping to be able to walk into a bank and get a non-FHA loan sometime in June, I will have aout 10% down for a 125k home.
Oh Yes, I'm in Ohio and am having a hard time telling if the SOL on the NCO account is up in 6 or 4 years... I never signed anything, if I recall my GF at the time was home when they set up the install, and she would have signed.

Hi Dingas and welcome to the forums.
I'm sorry you're having trouble with a link. That does happen from time to to time. I'll try to find out something for you but I want to make sure we're on the same page. Are you talking about the thread titled What Steps Do I Take? Do I DV? PFD?
And within that thread it says this: Send a DV letter CMRRR. See this link.
I assume that's what you mean. The link is definitely not working. I will contact an administartor about this.

yep, thats the link i was looking at.
I've contacted an administrator and they are looking into the problem. I will let you know when I hear anything.
From a BK years ago to:
EX - 3/11 pulled by lender- 835, EQ - 2/11-816, TU - 2/11-782
"Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they've made a difference. The Marines don't have that problem".
!!!!!!!
When the company killed my credit limit I was able to view my experian report, and I disputed both listed issues, I was getting my DV letter ready so I repulled the report ( i saved the report number) and Now, only 4 days later, the NCO is gone from the report. Does this mean I won and it is gone for good? I suppose I need to go to TU and EQ and do the same.
Edit: It is not longer on my TU report, and since I did not dispute it through TU this makes me smile.

We found the issue and have updated the "What Steps Do I Take? Do I DV? PFD?" topic and fixed the broken link for "Send a DV letter CMRRR. See this link."
Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
