Should I wait or try again?

Anonymous · ‎05-04-2012

I haven't had luck so far with my first round of GW letters to WFNNB. I sent the last one to the President of Alliance Data Systems (parent company of WFNNB) last week and promptly received a phone call from the consumer relations department saying "no". Should I send another GW letter this week to WFNNB (not alliance)? I don't want to tick anyone off by being pushy but I also want to be persistent. Any thoughts?

TIA!

So what would happen if you "tick them off"?

Think about it.

Keep trying.

Thanks! Great point...The worst they can say is "no" and I've already heard that a few times from them. Besides, once my other two baddies are deleted (hopefully soon - got confirmation again this week from both) then that's literally the only derog I have left on my CR. My goal is to have good credit regardless of my score

Keep trying... It took 3 months of "no's" from WFNNB to finally get a yes (and it was the same GW letter too, just with a different date at the top!)... Just be persistant and keep sending letters...
