Does this seem like the right path to take on GW letters?
Dear Sir or Ma'am,
I am writing this letter in order to request your help and understanding. I am an active duty sailor in the United States Navy and my job requires that I maintain a security clearance. As you may already know, good credit is one of the main requirements for security clearance eligibility.
Prior to enlisting in the military I was not always very financially responsible. However, I have since made an about-face (I apologize for the military jargon) and have come to understand the importance of sound financial decision making.
I am concerned about the affect this credit entry will have on my ability to keep my security clearance. The account is shown as “Paid” but still is a collection account. I would like to request that your company have some mercy on me and please make a “Goodwill Adjustment” and remove the account from the credit reporting agencies(Equifax, Experian, Transunion) . Your kind gesture would be sincerely appreciated and would help ensure that I can keep serving our country as an Electronics Technician Second Class in the United States Navy. I would like to thank you in advance for any help you may provide. You may contact me through email at [email protected] . Thank you again.
Sincerely,
XXXXXX
ET2(SW), USN
