I had paid this cc account off in 11/2004 or so I thought. Turns out there was a remaining balance that I never paid. It was charged-off for $268.00 in 7/2005. I have sent them 2 PFDs with no response. An email PFD to the the CEO of Credit Card Services sent 3/24/09. Of course, I want to PFD but not sure where to go from here. Yes, I can PIF but to whom? lol
SUCCESS!!!! Emailed CEO and secretary called back. Made payment and viola...deleted from all 3 CRAs! This will make a huge difference(or I'm hoping) with EQ. This charge-off has been on there for 4 years and EQ was counting every month. This will remove 49 lates! TU didn't count them that way. Not sure about EXP.
Like so many others, I am so glad I found this forum! It's amazing what a little knowledge and perseverance can accomplish!
I might be able to take advantage of $8K housing tax credit after all. I could possibly be in a house by the end of the year. Thought that would be many years away still.
Back to plugging away at the baddies with my goodwill letter assaults!
Climber,
Who did you e-mail? CEO of card services? Was it G***** S****? I emailed him a few days ago. How long did it take for them to respond?
I had a Chase CO that I tried to pay, but they sold it to collections as soon as I tried to pay it. I paid that with the collection agency, and now I need to GW the CO off my report. This has also been reporting every month. I have something like 29 120 day lates in a row on 2 reports, and 28 150 day lates in a row on the other. Really would like to get that off.
What score increase are you seeing because of this?
Starting, Yes, that is who I emailed. I emailed him on 3/24 late at night. His secretary sent me an email on 4/1 stating she had been trying to get a hold of me by phone. (who knows what number she had from 4 years ago..) I responded immediately with a phone number. Then didn't hear anything. Emailed her again on 4/15. We played phone tag til the 18th. I sent out chk on 4/18, she received 4/21. She is sending me out a letter stating that she deleted all 3. Only EXP has deleted so far. Not buying EXP score! I'll repost point hike on TU and EQ when I get them. Now, this isn't my last baddie so I'm not sure what to expect for point increase.
Soccer, go to consumerist and type in "Chase e-mail" to get all the info you need.
Climbing, thanks. I think you should get a big jump. Deleting 40 120 day lates is huge. It may affect your AAoA, but I will take a deleted charge off with multiple derogs anyday of the week.
I'm getting 10-20 point jumps with every deleted collection, so deleting a charge off with almost 30 120/150 day lates reporting up until last month should jack up my score quite a bit, I hope.
