I sent a GW letter about 6 months ago and in about a month I got one letter stating they re-opened my account and a second stating they were removing all my derrogatory information about the accunt. To add icing to the cake, I never asked for the account to be reopened and since then my I recieved an auto CLI from $200 to $1800!!!
Just keep an eye on your report. I was lazy and thinking that they will take the lates off eventually. They're still on there. I faxed them a reminder about a week ago with a copy of their inital letter. I got a call back about 2 hours later confirming the receipt of the fax and they're sorry that they failed to take them off. They're working on it again. We'll see what happens.
WOW. I just sent a GW about 3 weeks ago & have heard nothing. I sure hope that they do that to me. I doubt it though. Maybe I will send another GW asking them to reinstate my account. Congrats anyways to both posters.
