UCB has agreed to remove a paid collection account.

 

May I ask how long this account was paid prior to you sending your GW request?

The funniest part is I wasn't lying ha

 

I have a external hard drive that has every single letter I have sent, every single letter recieved (scanned) and a database that has every single fact about every single account I dealt with.. It makes it easier to go back and help out; but also in the off chance I ever get into financial trouble again (lets hope not) I have all the contacts, and whatnot avail fast..
