Certified Mail Vs Registered Mail

Anonymous — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 00:32:01 GMT

I am curious what mailing service people use nowadays to send their DV letters. I noticed US Postal increased their rates so high that Registered Mail costs over $10 ea now. That's some hefty change compare to Certified Mail which is around $3 ea

I've always sent mine Certified Mail Return Receipt requested (CMRRR). It has been around $5 or so for myself.

Quick add on...

CMRRR has to be a street address right. I mean no one can sign for it at their PO box. I can't find the street address for EX. HELP

While I'd prefer to send CMRRRs to street addresses, I have sent to PO boxes many a time without any problems and they have been signed for (by someone anyway).

If reporting, I will often find street addresses from each CR. TC seems to have more address info as compared to pulling from each CR. Or try the CA's website.

I sent a CMRRR to Experian (Experian.... PO Box 9701 ... Allen TX 75013) last week, I received it in the mail this week, with a big red stamp from James M. Swanson (probably a non-existent person) with a red stamped address of "Experian 701 Experian Parkway" and no city, state or zip code. Unfortunately, the receipt date of August 1 2008 is nearly completely hidden because whoever stamped it decided it would be a great idea to center the red stamped date over the black text of the Receipt Card. Oh well. What I haven't recieved is any letter from Experian regarding my dispute, nor has my information been updated when I look at True Credit. I have yet to receive an updated credit report from Experian, as well. When I had contacted Transunion and Equifax by phone, they updated the information within 24 hours and I received updated credit reports from both this week. I also received a True Credit Update notice from Equifax within that 24 hours. So yes, like your experience, my experience is that someone CAN sign if you send mail to a PO Box. For myself, how long should I wait for a reply and/or an updated credit report from Experian? how should I contact them again, if they will not respond to a CMRRR?
