What information should i include or not include? I am afraid it will sound whiney...and i certainly don't want to beg. i have a 150 day late from 2 years ago, and 2 or 3 30 days late from 13 months ago. i also had a utility bill go into collections and was label "charge off", i have since paid it in full...to the original company, not a collection agency. i want to try to get as much of this off.</DIV><DIV>&nbsp;</DIV><DIV>oh boy! the mistakes you make when you are younger certainly do some back to bite you in the butt!</DIV><DIV>&nbsp;</DIV><DIV>any help would be SO greatly appreciated. i will keep you posted to the outcome and i have additional questions.</DIV><DIV>-sarah</DIV> Fri, 20 Jun 2008 17:56:12 GMT Anonymous 2008-06-20T17:56:12Z https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Rebuilding-Your-Credit/Sample-GW-letter/m-p/269841#M11266 <DIV>Hello, i am preparing to write my first series of GW letters, but i was wondering if there is a template out there somewhere that i could follow. &nbsp;i am just curious what is acceptable to put in this kind of letter.
