You got the letter from the CA saying they would delete?
Were they already reporting on EX and removed then placed back? Or were they not reporting at all and now they are?
When did you receive the letter?
IMO, wait about 30 days to see if they remove. Are you app'ing for anything really soon, like before 30 days?

what's the date on their letter?
i assume it predates their update (1/7/2009) of the record.
if you are really upset (i would be) i would complain right away to BBB, AGs (both) and FTC.
OK, they were already reporting to all 3 bureaus......they letter I got was dated 1/6/2009.And then they put this on my report:

Is it actually double reporting or did they just update? Don't go by the alert, pull a report if you have a monitoring service that allows you.
It is possible they had submitted an update that the CRA hadn't processed BEFORE they sent that letter.
IMO, I would wait at least 30 days before doing anything.

Looks like they actually updated before they sent the letter, as I had suspected.
If your service alerted you on 1/6/09, they had likely contacted the CRA before this time and your letter is dated 1/6/09.

What are ag's? I am just trying to get this off asap! Can I fax or mail the letter I got to the credit bureaus or something? I don't know why they would add it again......if they just said they were going to take it off?! What steps should I take to get it removed? Thanks so much everyone!!
Doesn't look like they added it again, but rather updated. And likey they updated before that letter was sent to you.
IMO, don't send anything to the CRA or you could delay the removal of the account.
I would give it at least 30 days.
