No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
Is there anyway you can PM me the contact info you used for Capital one? I have tried to send letters to publically noted e-mails to no avail. I have one 30 day late after 9 years as a card holder and I am trying to get it removed.
Thanks!
Wow! Cap1 has been a tough cookie in recent years. Glad you were able to crack them.
I tried doing this and got nowhere. In fact, I got nowhere with several companies. All of them kept saying the same thing which was they were reporting correctly on the credit bureaus and there's nothing they can do. What am I doing wrong?

Nothing, as you are essentially asking them a favor to remove those lates its up to them if they will do so by doing a null report for those months. All you can do is keep trying. The law is IF they report it must be correct, nothing says they have to.
Can you please email me regarding this situation. I need some advice. <Mod edit: Cannot post personal emails on forum>
I also did this. I sent my 1st email in mid-June 2020. I got a call telling me to pound salt. I did NOT give up.... I sent another email, same result. Then I started to read some other successful letters. The catch is that you have to make yourself sound like you just survived an extreme life-altering catastrophe. So, I started to write as if I was creating a mellow dramatic action movie. I was ashamed for about 30 seconds... I got a call the next day. The sad little letter worked and I was granted the removal of my one and only late payment from Sept 2019. (waiting)
Finally did it!
Thank you for sharing your story!
