Started my journey 1/29/15. Making progress with the help of all of you!!! It can be done, I have watched my scores grow almost 50 points since I joined the forums. I know that it would have been more, but that recent collection dropped me 25 pts. Due to the rise in scores i was able to get CLI on all 3 cc's that I have going from a total CL of $1300 to now at $3050.....
Here is what i have been able to tackle as far a negatives on my CR.
1) Comcast $367-made arrangements with CA (ERC) for $75 monthly payment until PIF 2 more payments and then i will begn GW campaign to request removal
2) Progressive $183- PIF with CA (CCS)--deleted
3) Progressive $185- made arrangements with CA (CCS) of $63 until PIF--1 more payment on 4/3 and they will delete
4) AT&T for $346 unpaid scheduled to fall off 8/2015-- called TU and was able to get EE.. Will wait until closer to get EQ and EX to GW EE... Removed from EX, EQ will not budge
5) $962 for EX Husbands dental bill- which I was not in the office when he applied for credit! Anyway to dispute?-- filed CFPB dispute and looked on CK this morning and was removed!!!
6) AT&T for $263 PIF 9/2014-- Was able to get ATT EO to have ERC remove from all reports
7) $190 for dental bill scheduled to fall off 5/2017- Not sure what to do about this.. has not been updated from CA since 11/2010
8) Had a medical collection for daughter Pop up on account (caused score to drop about 25pts across the board), due to hospital not providing physican's biller with insurance info- Does anyone know if I can get them to remove once insurance pays bill Currently with my insurance and their legal department as Hospital as been falsely claiming to not have insurance info even thought they partially filed a claim for payment. Also Filed BBB report.
9) C/O with credit one bank for $592, OC reporting as $0. GW letter emailed 5/15 and received reply email that i will be mailed a decision since they can not reply by email. Accont sold to Midland Credit Management (not yet reporting) Received settlement offer from MCM and agreed to pay if they did not report to CRA's..agreement was accepted and payment made
10) Toyota Financial (1) 30 day late payment.. Emailed GW to EO and without any notice they removed late and sent correction to all 3 CRA.
11) Capital One (1) 30 day late payment Emailed GW letter 5/15 to ask for removal, no response as of yet.
Still working on cleaning the baddies and decreasing current CC utilization....

Also Filed BBB report. I would not let this one go, I would send ITS (Intent to sue) letter if it still remains after is paid and the BBB doesnt get anywhere,. These people need to know they cant get away with shoddy work and if a suit is necessary then so be it.

You've done an amazing job! Congrats!
Thank you all! It has been work but the progress is worth it as I plan to buy a home before the end of this year. Just thought the post might be helpful to those just starting their journey.
