DV-ing is worth it!

My husband sent a DV letter out about 2 weeks ago and got a response today - they are going to delete! It was a $700 cable bill that he probably did owe (he won't admit it). But yay! The CA is IC Systems so let's see how many months it takes them to delete...

Starting Scores: (4/16/12 lender pull) TU 596 | EX 550 | EQ 576
Current Score (9/3/15): Wally TU 639 | Amex EX 628 | DCU EQ 639
Goals: Homeowner as of 9/27/2013. Last app 8/1/15. TU-5; EX-16; EQ-13. Aiming for ZERO inqs.

Re: DV-ing is worth it!

I hope I have your success. After asking around about whether I should DV or PFD a certain account I ended up DV'ing because I heard of many stories of this company just deleting. It is old and for a measly amount of money anyway. If it falls off without paying, good enough for me.
