BK removed from EX 9 years 8 months from discharge

Data Points

 

Filed Chap 7 in 10/2008

Discharged 1/09

 

I knew it was coming time and I was getting ready to research how to get it removed early when I get an alert from EX saying my score went up. Logged in to see my score at 808!!! A 64 point increase! And the BK is no longer reporting!

 

I got all 3 reports to look at and sure enough, no on EX, yes on EQ and TU but TU said it's due to be removed next month! 

 

Finally in the 800 CLUB! Thank you MyFico, it all started here!

TU will do EE up to 6 months early, and EQ 1-3 months and is hit or miss. Id call up the others!

If you're only 4 months out from the 7 year mark TU should definitely be cooperative with an EE. They took mine off at 6 months out. Give them a call and ask to talk to a supervisor. You could be BK-free by the end of the day. GL!

I will have to do this as mine is expected to fall off on 3/2019 and being September this puts me at 6 months out.

 

So just call and ask for a supervisor and ask for it to be removed early?  That simple?

Yep. It's just that simple. I think when I called up, I said I wanted to look at a Public Record on my account. Once they found the BK, I asked if it could be removed by EE. I had to be transferred to a supervisor, but it was all done in less than 10 minutes.

 

800-916-8800 should get you in touch with the dispute dept.
