OMG! I'm SOO Happy!

[Anonymous]

So I have been trying to clean up my credit and paid 3 of my 5 collections ( Before I discovered myFICO and PFD), so with the information I learned here I started my GW process. I have been sending out letters, emails, faxes and playing the waiting game. After getting no responses I was getting very discouraged, but after reading a horoscope that basically said that I have been working on a project and I am starting to become discouraged, but not to give up because I am closer than I think, and that I had to put in just a little more effort to reach my goal,  I decided to put in just a little more effort and just called the 3 collections that I paid. LO and behold I must have been doing something right because, deletions were already put in for the accounts. The whole time I was getting down on myself thinking it wasn't working for me and that I was doing something wrong because I wasn't hearing back from any of the company's, when in fact I was succeeding. Persistence is definitely key when your trying to reach your goals, Thanks so much myFICO forums and everyone who offered me advice, OMG I'm Soo Happy!

Hi creditcraze!!!  That is WONDERFUL NEWS!!!!  

We SO love to hear success stories like yours!  It's the slow but steady, chipping away, that works in the end.  Sometimes it literally takes months to get things moving, but in doing so, we have all learned patience & we've all used a shoulder & given one too, when things seem hopeless or at least just moving TOO slow!

Persistence is key & you are well on your way!

Congrats again & welcome to our great big happy FICO Family!!
