Hi, long time visitor and first time poster. I'm unsure of how to proceed. I hope I'm doing this right...
Back in 2017 I missed payments on my cap1 account. It was eventually charged off in DeC' 17. In Jan'21 I sent my first gw request. I received a call and was told that nothing could be done. However shortly after that I received notifications that there had been a change. Instead of removing it they updated it to no longer reflect a CO, but now every month from Dec'17- Dec'20 was showing as 180 days and then as of Jan 28, 2021 it shows a new date reported and delinquency first reported as Jan 1, 2021. This caused my scores to plummet across all 3. To make it even more confusing... I paid the debt in Nov'2020. So should I send another letter to Cap 1 explaining their error or do I contact the 3 CBs and ask to have them remove it since it's reporting in error.
Once they update the balance to zip then per CRA rules updating the TL stops. There is no DoFD if they dont report a CO on the account, it would then stay onfile for longer than is legal. I would send them a copy of your previous CRs indicating the date that they actually COed it and request that it be updated properly. If they fail to do so then a CFPB complaint would be in order.
