You need to find out the actual DoFD on this account.
Will do I have a call into their dispute center a number I got off a letter they had sent to me about a year ago. Once I get a response I will let you know. Thanks!
You can call the CRAs and ask what the FCRA Compliance Date is.
Or contact the OC and ask them.
So I did just that I called each of these places and they all stated that they didn't have access to that information. The creditor said I had to contact their dispute center which I did and had to leave a message. Awaiting a return call and I am hoping they do call. What happens if noone can give me this information? What would be my next steps?
A creditor has 90 days to give that information to the CRAs so I am not sure why they didn't have access to it. EQ should have a DoFD listed and TU and EX should have a remove by date.
If the creditor doesn't have that information, which they of all people should, do you have any records, statements,etc?
There is a year difference in the removed by date so something is clearly wrong.
