What sucks is I was expecting my score to jump at least 20 points with Experian....It went from 611 to 612....LOL. I did send out letters to all 3 CRBs last week for my negative reportings...We will see how that goes.
From what I've read its the last baddie that gives you the real boost. Others help but if there is still something then it still hurts you.
The last baddie on my reports is my BK from June '09. December will be 6 months early for TU. I'm sooooo tempted to try now! I'll have to wait until next year for EX and EQ. Some people in this thread have called and others have done it online. Does it matter and... do you think I should try TU now or calm down and wait until Dec? And if I do have to want until Dec, is it to the date (like the 15th) or can I try Dec 1st?
Thanks!
It's been my experience that Transunion will remove up to 6 months before it hits the 7 year mark, Experian up to 2 months before and Equifax will remove 30 days before. Best wishes.
Unfortunately, Experian finished my disputes and verified all of them. Why is TransUnion the only awesome CRA?? I mean, these late payments are from almost 7 years ago, you guys couldn't give me a little break? I know super old late payments don't make much of an impact, but I still want them gone. Well, I shouldn't say they don't because when TU removed them, I got a 40 point increase! I just want to see that same increase with my Equifax and Experian reports.

Yeah TU seems to be the best. The others tend to take longer to remove stuff. I can't fault them as they are following the rules so I guess we just wait. I had two things drop from TU and my score jumped 43 points. Just need the BK to drop and I might actually be at 800 for one of them. I need to dispute it as too old and see if they will remove it.

masscredit I have heard it is better to call them and ask to speak to a supervisor. I did mine online and was able to say two of the three I wanted to dispute were too old to be on my report. They were removed within the day and my score jumped 43 points. I wasn't able to say my BK was too old to be on my report. I might have to actually call them and speak to someone. I just prefer to do everything online now a days.
So mine were supposed to drop on 3/2019 and I contacted them on 9/2019. I don't know if the day matters but I did it the first day from 6 months out and it worked.

To me, EQ is worse than EX. I have something with them that's is clearly not correct reporting where Sallie Mae says my Federal student loans are included in my BK, when it's clear that anyone who just looks at the file can see there is the exact same accounts under Navient. I've called Sallie Mae and they do not even have a record of me, but someway EQ says they are validating that is true. I just called them again for the third dispute, we will see what happens. If I don't get this cleared up my EQ scores is going to be dragged down until 2022. EX always had it right and one dispute on TU and they updated in a couple of weeks.

Ugh EQ is my worst one, too! My EX and EQ reports are EXACTLY the same, yet my EQ score is 20 points lower! No, wait a minute, I have 2 things in collections on my EX report and only 1 on my EQ... wth is going on here? I was able to pull all 3 CRA yesterday for free and everything matched up except one collection agency doesn't report it to EQ. You would think my EX score would be the lowest then! Oh well. Only time can fix my profile right now, so I just have to wait it out, pay my bills on time, and keep doing the AZEO method.
I just requested an EE on my Transunion report. I had this at the end of the account
"Estimated month and year that this item will be removed: 06/2019", so I'm hopping that it will be removed in the next couple of days.
Will see if I can dispute online with EQ and EX, maybe I'll get it off my EX account.
