Hi All,
Recently this year I have made it my mission to rebuild my credit. I have payment plans in motions with my last two creditors and will be debt free on August 28th. I just recently started reading this forum and have learned a lot, and wanted some advice on 4 items that I am curious about.
1) I paid RJM Acq Llc for a Target Store card in May, but it is still showing as a collections on my transuion credit report. Can I call RJM and ask that the collection be removed from my credit report. What are my chances that they will comply?
2) A creditor Arrow Financial Service is showing up as on my inquiries. Can a creditor pull my credit or can I dispute with transunion and have it removed?
3) Wells Fargo Card Service sold my account to another lender which I have paid off, Can I have Wells fargo deleted since it's paid and they do not own the account anymore? Would I have to GW Wells fargo or can I dispute it with transunion.
4) I currently am paying Capitol one through Northland Group but did set up a PFD is it too late to request one? Or should I leave it alone since Capitol One still owns the debt and I did not settle? Same thing with Arrow Financial service for paying my Frist Premier CC.
Any advice would help, thank you in advance!

RJM is very delete friendly, I will PM you an email address for someone there that can help you.
2) A creditor Arrow Financial Service is showing up as on my inquiries. Can a creditor pull my credit or can I dispute with transunion and have it removed? Transunion generally tends to treat inquiries as undisputed truth, you would probably get nowhere trying to dispute it directly with them. Arrow is a CA, and there are differing opinions on whether CAs have permissible purpose (PP) to do a hard pull, with valid legal arguments supporting both opinions. I am of the opinion that they do not have PP. Search the forums for the non-PP letter, and send that to Arrow.
3) Wells Fargo Card Service sold my account to another lender which I have paid off, Can I have Wells fargo deleted since it's paid and they do not own the account anymore? Would I have to GW Wells fargo or can I dispute it with transunion. GW is probably your only recourse, selling the account doesn't mean they have to discontinue their reporting, it just means that they note your account is closed with a $0 balance.
4) I currently am paying Capitol one through Northland Group but did set up a PFD is it too late to request one? Or should I leave it alone since Capitol One still owns the debt and I did not settle? Same thing with Arrow Financial service for paying my Frist Premier CC. If the OC owns the debt you should try to pay them directly instead of working with the CA. If you can pay the OC directly, you can request that they pull the account back from the CA in exchange for payment, which would get the CA accounts deleted.
Any advice would help, thank you in advance!

RJM are known to acquiesce to PFDs and likely GWs as well. Try GWs which are your only option and hope it works out for you. Otherwise, they can continue to report 'appropriately'

When was the inquiry? If its a recent and its a legit debt, they are likely gonna start posting on your reports within a months time from the inquiry. They are likely, simply waiting to later claim that they had sent you a collection notice and the dunning letter to he mailing adress obtained from that soft pull. Maybe they did. I dont believe they would have. So its very important that you figure out if they are upto something and send out a DV asap so they dont report atleast until they validate. Once they get to post, they will sit back and relax and make you fight...Do you think there might be any pending unpaid debts? Is the mailing address on your CBRs your current mailing adress and also what those unpaid creditors (on which Arrow might be collecting) have?
3) Wells Fargo Card Service sold my account to another lender which I have paid off, Can I have Wells fargo deleted since it's paid and they do not own the account anymore? Would I have to GW Wells fargo or can I dispute it with transunion.
You cant have wells faorgo deleted. They have the right to report appropriately. But you can GW them.
4) I currently am paying Capitol one through Northland Group but did set up a PFD is it too late to request one? Or should I leave it alone since Capitol One still owns the debt and I did not settle? Same thing with Arrow Financial service for paying my Frist Premier CC.
Is Arrow collection related to your post#2?
Is Cap one a CO and sold? If not you can still request a PFD. Cap one dont usually play this game.Neither do FP. But you have to try and keep trying.
Any advice would help, thank you in advance!

Arrow pulled the credit on Jan 27, 2009 I didnt receive a notice from them as I was no longer living at the address that was on the card. I finally got a hold of my very old mail and the creditors letter was from FMS financial but after a week of calling them and no answer I called First Preimer and was given the # to Arrow (this happend last week), that is how I set up my payment plan for this account.
When I called both FP and Cap 1 to try to work out payment plans they referred me to the CA's to setup the plans, but this was before I knew I needed to get a PFD first.
