Rebuild after divorce!!

Hello,
I'm in need of some guidance. I went through a divorce and my credit suffered. I had past due student loans, late payments and collections. Since then I have had my student loans forgiven, and all collections paid. What can I do to get the negative marks removed? I am trying to purchase a home and unable to due to the negative history. I do not have outstanding credit card debt. And I am current on all my bills just not sure what to do besides wait 7 years.

Re: Rebuild after divorce!!

You could try a "goodwill campaign".

 

Write polite letters to whoever reported negative information, and ask them to please remove the negative payments. It might take several letters. Some companies will flat out refuse.

 

Good luck.
