https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Rebuilding-Your-Credit/How-will-this-effect-me/m-p/537481#M74083 I am trying to get a paid CMI/Comcast collection deleted. I told them this is not my account. They want me to take a letter from local Police station that this account is not mine. If I were to do this how will it effect me? Once I send the letter, is CMI/Comcast required to remove it from my credit report? Will this any other negative effect on me?
