First Tech Federal Credit Union (Secured Personal Loan)

Balance- $1000 

Date Opened- 3 days ago (11/12/2012)
Payments: $29/mo over 36 months

Interest Rate: 3.1% (Only $49 interest over 3 years if i end up making minimum payments)

 

Applied Bank Secured Credit Card

Balance- $0/$200 

Date Opened- 3 days ago (11/12/2012)

 

Credit Scores (FAKO)

Experian- 513

Equifax- 517

TransUnion- 541

 


Im thinking about sending a letter to Experian regarding the A-L financial listing as i disputed it a couple years ago, was removed and came back to  my report but never receieved notice from Experian. Also CA is reporting the balance as well as OC.

 

All charge offs have been disputed with CB and came back verified. All collections have been disputed with CB and came back verified except (EOS, havent disputed yet hope I can get them to remove directly if not I will dispute with the credit bureaus)

 

Need advice how to pay off loan for optimum score results. I could technically pay $100/mo towards the loan only reason i opened it was to add an installment loan to my credit portfolio. Interest isnt an issue so i could technically drag it out the full term. What do you guys suggest?

 

Any advice, tips, best practices?

Re: Starting out my credit rebuilding project Need advice

Inquiries:

 

Equifax- 23

 

Experian- 30

 

TransUnion- 25

 

I know the inquiries are horrible, i was recently car shopping so ran my credit a lot, as well  as tried to get the bottom of the barrell credit cards with no luck (obviously). Also AL financial seems to be pulling my credit report once or twice a year. 


Im gonna make sure not to take any more hits

Start with the CC chargeoffs. These are factored into utilization.

For the lower balance CA...DV th first. If they validate.....then see if they will settle for less amd delete the CA.

Sounds good thank you for the feedback, looks like ill go after first premier which im sure will either ignore DV or validate. Looks like ill just be able to get lowe util % out of paying those off...

 

then attack smaller CA and hope I can somehow get the larger ones off via DV, CRA disputes 

 

gonna be a long road Smiley Sad

Re: New Rebuild Journal Xwill04

Thanks NFrederick! Got the idea from madmann26

Sent out experian disputes today via cmrrr using jack attack method.

If they come back verified hopefully I can use whatever I get back from CA (if they even respond) for my second round of disputes. If exp fails to investigate (I've disputed early this year) I will BBB them to force them to investigate.

Hope it works will keep u guys posted. Excited to see what my score looks like once the 3 CA drop off my report an once my $3 balance on credit card reports!
