Hi everyone,

I see a lot of acronyms on this forum and have no idea what they are referring to.

GW

DV

CMRR

CA - I think this means Collection Agency

CRA - I think this means Credit Reporting Agency

Can someone tell me what these acronyms are.

Is there a  place which has these acronyms

Gw-goodwill, dv- debt validation, ca- collection agency,  CRA- credit reporting agency, dw- dear wife, dh- dear husband , au- authorized user. ..... just to name a few
