Thinking about applying for Barclay.....

My TU fico score 8 is a 679 which is my best score.... I have one bad acct with no history just shwing up as a charge off that I don't owe but TU keep sending back verified and Honda Finance is no help either... anyway I applied fr Barclay a few mnths ag when my score was 640 and was denied.... should I apply again or wait til 01/16 when that charge off is due to fall off????

 

FYI I had a car loan with Honda that's paid/closed never late but TU is reporting 2 accts.... one that I had in 06 and the one I didn't have from 07..... no history is showing on the acct just balance and status charge off.......

If it really isn't yours then dispute it and ask for the original loan documents from honda financial.

Contact honda financail about the said account that you don't have with them and ask them to verify. If they cannot verify it then ask them for a letter stating that there is no such account. If the CB still plays hard ball then you may have legal grounds against them.

I agree with the other 2 posters. Ask for the original docs for the loan and dispute it again. Contacting a lawyer may be beneficial, however, make sure the benefits outweigh the cost.  If this doesn't work than I would wait until 2016 to apply for the Barclays credit card. IMHO, waiting will give you favorable results. 

 

I had to do the same thing for a few fraudulent accounts listed on my credit reports. At the time, I couldn't do anything else because the businesses had gone out of business. It was also before I found myFICO. Since then, I have accumulated a nice credit portfolio. 

 

I know it seems like forever, but the time will pass quickly. Find something else to occupy your time like requesting SP CLIs for the credit cards your currently own. Best wishes and keep up the good work.
