After years of bad credit, I am finally going to fight it! I havent really had the chance to pay any old debt back because of lack of funds with a low paying job. I have finally got a good paying job and as soon as I get my tax return I am going to pay ALLLLLLL of my debt off!
-Verizon Wireless $305 PFD letter sent today
-Kay Jewelers $900 Already paid half. Once this is paid in full should i sent GW letter? I made payment arrangements before i heard of the PFD letter
-Nationwide Insurance- $75 PFD sent today
-Receivables Performance Management(t-mobile) $571 PFD letter sent today
-Bellco Credit Union $467 Will be writting a PFD
-Chase-$873 Made payment arrangements to clear my debt. They never removed the rest of the debt.
Has anyone had any luck with GW letters and PFD with any one of these?

I have never sent GW to any of those. But i also said enough is enough and I have 3 left and my tax refund will cover all 3 so then debt free. Only place Im having a hardtime with is capital one. They wont remove anything grrr. its all paid off they just like to sit on my report for some reason. Congrats!! Keep it up
Haven't had experience with any of those but just wanted to wish you good luck! Feels good to stare the problem in the face and confront it head on, right?!

I haven't had experience with any of them.
With the exception of T-mobile, they all appear to be OCs. How old are they? Will it affect your AAoA if you get them removed?
Paying off the OC debt should drop your overall utilization.
I am also in the letter/paying process. It is a daunting task but the best advice is to TRY!!! and keep TRYING!!!! Dont quit!
Correct. All are OC except for T-Mobile. Yes i think it will affect my AAOA.. I guess i never thought of that.
Verizon is from 2011
Kay is from 2008
Nationwide 2012
Tmobile 2008
Bellco 2009
Chanse 2009
So would it be bad if the old ones are removed?
What do you have on your report in good standing? What is the oldest account you have?
Now that I look again, I believe Chase and maybe Kay, may be the only one that reports other than when an account goes south.
If the others are only reported due to being negative, getting them removed would be best.
I would start with Nationwide as it is the newest one.
I have 2 auto loans. 1 was paid in full, The other i have had for a year and i have never missed a payment
Care Credit card from 08 that was never late but was closed in 2010 ( It was a joint)
The Kay card is actually from 2007 and that it my oldest.
Only active account is my auto loan . Ive been screwed since 08.
I plan on getting a Secured CC soon.
Ever heard of Nationwide accepting a PFD?
Awesome! I'm doing the same thing. No matter what happens with my credit, it will feel good to know that everything is paid.

I haven't heard one way or the other but it never hurts to ask.
If Kays is your oldest it will mess up your AAoA to have it removed. Is it CO'd or just lates?
You could use one or two CC.
