No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
Since you paid with a CC then it's likely they have already applied to the funds and noted you account as paid. I think your best bet at this point would be to GW.
I can not tell you ro cancel the CC payment or not. Usually you would have to lie to the CCC.
By making payment you might have reset the SOL and they can come after you for the rest of the amount.
You should have mail the CA a DV CMRRR and then of they answered with the correct info. mailed a PFD or offerend a settlement amount with an agreement that the debt was PIFd.
If payment was not made they could only report until past CRTP (7-7.5 years from DOFD)
SOL is set by each state unless there is a federal SOL.
Thanks very much for replying! I guess I will try GW.
Will the item still be removed after 7/7.5 years? Or will it stay another 7/7.5 years because of my payment? Thanks again!
