Re: Need Help to Boost my Credit

You're going to have to be more specific. What are the specific negative items, how old are they, how old is your credit history, etc.

One thing you should have done: Asked them to delete the item right after you paid it. You can still call them back and ask them to update the credit bureaus

Re: Need Help to Boost my Credit

If you havent, pull your reports on here an target all baddies and see if the get some deleted(if you paid through goodwill now or early if 6 monthsl left in your SOL). For the most part, stuff takes time, some items will have less effect on your credit than others. If you have anything with incorrect information, please challenge with a dispute, there are many examples on here on how to do so. Please list what you have so others here can help you and point you in the right direction.

I Take who you paid off were chargeoffs. It doesnt hurt to ask now. Student loan companies are hard to take off your report. you can post qustions on each topic of your post in Credit rebuilding and list out the student loan servicers. Depending on who they are, there could be hope to some of the lates deleted. The same for credit card, if you dont mind listing banks who provided the credit cards, thet will help. SOme members on here knowsa great amount on the top lenders.

Welcome to the forum! You may want to check the rebuilding forum. There's tons of information on where to start to bounce back from credit problems. Also, if Capital One isnt one of the cards you had charged off or in collections, you may want to try their pre qual on their site.
