GW letter on old accounts but don't know the account #s ?

[Anonymous]

Good evening

I'm getting ready to write my first GW letter and am wondering how I identify what account to tell them about if I don't know the account #. Not sure if it's a good idea to just mail them my SSN and hope for the best. I searched the forums and read the GW primer but don't see anything mentioned about not being able to identify what account I'd be writing about.. My CR does not list the account # either

thanks

You can use the partial number on your credit reports that x's out the last 4 digits.

The account I'm looking at doesn't even have that

I would try calling the original creditor and find out what the account number was.

Where did you get the report?

Nevermind, I was trying to get it off the FICO report here. I found the numbers on my actual printed report

thanks
