Hello myFICO family!
I thought I would share the success I had last week with the following Collection Agencies that agreed to PFD. This is obviously huge as I should no longer have any collection accounts on my credit report once these are processed. I sent a letter first and then waited about 2 weeks and then called in and spoke to Supervisors / Team Leaders.
Revenue Recovery Corporation
First National Collection
Credit Bureau Systems
I do , however, have a couple of baddies I'd like to get removed and am having some difficulty if anyone has some advice on any or all of these.

- Bank of America - account opened fraudulently by my ex-wife, maxed out, and then charged off. A judgment was entered a couple of years ago which I never knew about and had it taken care of. However, BoA isn't accepting my request to have the late payments on the tradeline adjusted.
- Discover Student Loans - I got a little behind during my divorce, but all 3 accounts were paid off in July 2014. The length of delinquency is incorrect and they refuse to adjust the tradelines.
- Springleaf Financial - my ex-wife was awarded her van in the divorce; however, we didn't know that she quit making the payments and the van repo'd. I was never notified (as the co-signor) of any collection activity or repossession.
Grats to your success
For the BoA you will need to go thru the ID Theft process to get it supressed http://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/General-Credit-Topics/Victim-of-Identity-Theft-What-To-Do-to-Protect...
For the judgment, the first step is to file a motion to vacate based on improper service. You weren't served, the judgment cant stand.
I'd suggest Lexington Law if you have the means for it.
Lexington Law cant do anything OP can do for themselves. Waste of money.
From my understanding most of the folks working at Lexington Law know NOTHING regarding the law. Search the boards here to see what others have to say about LL. Some are former employees!
I will most certainly not be usinig Lexington Law as I've been able to have a great deal of success on my own utilizing some of the great tips in the forums.
However, I would certainly like to hear if anyone has suggestions on the Bank of America, Discover Student Loans, and/or Springleaf Financial (repo). These are the only things left and they are kicking my butt. LOL
