HSBC and Portfolio Recovery have been on my report for a few yesrs now.
I just got PRA to delete from all three CRA's after fighting with them it took complaint filed with CFPB and BBB to beat them
now my account is still listed as HSBC on all three CRA's - not sure if Cap1 now owns it or not
it was listed as a charge off for $405 & showing a payment history
As I was taking on PRA I disputed the HSBC account online with all three CRA's
none of them deleted the account but now the reporting is all over the place
Experian: Status-Closed Comment-Purchased by another lender Recent Balance $0 and the only payment history is in 9/2011 CLS
Equifax: Status-Charge Off , Comments-Charged off account , chargeoff amont $0, Balance $0, DOLA N/A , Activity-Transfer/Sold,
Trans Union: Status: Account paid in Full;was a Charge-off, Original Charge-off $405, Account Sale Info- Account Sold to Portfolio Recovery, Remarks-Acct info disputed by consumer; Purchased by another lender; Transfered to another lender
Now experian lists the account as a account in good standing but TU and EQ are both negative.
so should I dispute again with the CRA, Dispute with HSBC, leave it alone or try to submit to CFPB or BBB
TU is scheduled to come off 8/17and assume that EQ would be around the same time
anyy suggestions would be greatly appreciated
I am watching this thread....
I have a similar problem with HSBC. I've done mostly everything I could to get it off my report, it is obsolete and reporting wrong....my last straw was a CFPB complaint and now the waiting begins.
Well, I guess I spoke too soon. HSBC dispute resolved on my EQ report and it just gave me a 33 point increase. I swear if these scores were a person, I'd think they're bipolar lol.
The only thing I don't know is - if it is as a result of the complaint that I filed with the CFPB or the CRA, also I want to see it drop off my report. Portfolio Associates should follow behind them since the HSBC TL is tied into them. I filed a complaint on both PRA and HSBC with the CFPB.
If you haven't already, I'd seriously consider filing a complaint with the CFPB, I'm 90% certain that the change in my CRA is due to them and not the CRA dispute.
PRA will not come off just because HSBC did. They tried as hard as they could to stay on my report. But persistance paid off once I sent c screen shot of how they were reporting they were gone in a few days.
I have been nervous to use the CFPB on HSBC because I do not know if Cap1 now owns it and I do not want to raise any red flags there as I have a Cap1 card and a Kohls card backed by Cap1

From what I learned - and take it with a grain of salt because I'm a newbie - and certainly nowhere near the end of my rebuilding. Cap1 took over HSBC tradelines. I had a Direct Merchants Bank with them that I have been lighting a papertrail to get rid of because it was past CRTP.
I too have a CAP1 (AU) line - which I'm betting they won't report because I was complaining against them, but for me it is worth it to get the baddies off even at the risk of
getting CAP1 mad at me. On the otherhand they might just update my CR to show the new Cap1 AU card, considering what I have been reading how the left hand doesn't speak to the right hand that often. I will be pleasantly surprised if they do.

Just to update, they indeed reported my CAP1 (AU) account so now it is on as a positive TL.....
Maybe I'll hold my breath and wait for the other shoe to drop
