Hi I know that any Advice or being put in the right direction is not legal advice and blah blah but here it is I am reaching out I am attempting to fix and rebuild my wife and I's credit simultaneously she has much medical debt in collections as she was a single mother with little to no help while she lived in Alaska her whole life. The collection companies are Cornerstone and Doctors out of Alaska neither of which are licensed in the State of New York which we currently reside. Cornerstone Couldnt collect nor accept payments from us because of this fact and when we told the lady why it was so important she said dispute with the CRA and they will be deleted because they are not licensed to Collect in New York they also had a judgement against her in which falls in the same boat so I am working on getting all that deleted as we speak. Now as far as Doctors Collections. The hospital can not pull the debt back as they are in secondary Collections I tried. They have already Collected on one account after we moved here because it was small and I wanted it gone, they are not licensed nor bonded in the state of New York More importantly Buffalo in which CA must be to legally collect, the thing that sucks is I know that info but can't find the referance of the law. They lied to me on the phone stating that they were licensed in New York, they also sent a "statement" if that is what you want to call it and all of the Accounts Currently with them are past SOL and 1 is close to Falling off. My question is how do I go about getting the other stuff off with them they seem shady. What is the best avenue of approach to get rid of the leeches other than CD letter. please any and all help appreciated and I am enclosing a general shot of our credit reports No PII these are all with FICO Reports. Can I get these deleted to rid of all but 1 collection?

Hopefully someone with more experience will chime in soon. Hang in there.
thanks for the chin up I am hoping someone preferably a moderator or someone that has been in the same boat and I found the Statute for Buffalo and found a list of licensed and bonded CA and they are not on them so they lied to me telling me that they were licensed and they also have sent dunny to current address and have accepted a payment from me for a collection after already living here. Also Alaska I believe is not a community state and they furnished all kinds of information to me for my wife is that also a violation?

What are the DoFDs of these accounts? Are any of them paid? There is a NY statute that states that paid COs will only stay on for 5 years vs the FDCRA's limit of 7. Might be something to look into.

Goodwill this one
The DOFDs I'm assuming are 30 days after but not sure, with the FP ill give a PFD a shot. Ill try the GW with the credit one and the Cap one not sure if I paid that off or not should I still try GW? And for cavalry they said they don't do PFD, should I try the pay and delete deal after 6 months if I can get them to agree? And have you heard of IQ electing for a goodwill with less than PIF?
I've had no dealings with IQ so I can't answer that question. With Calvary, I'd give the PFD another shot or two, if they don't go for it, I'd pay/settle and then start the GW campaign. I've had some that wouldn't PFD, but did GW, so that's always a viable option.
It's going to take a bit of time. I'll tell you my advice, or how I dealt with mine. Everyone is different, so all I can tell you is what worked for me.
I took and divided all my accounts into 2 categories. Good and bad.
The good, keep good. Plain and simple.
The bad... I divided into 2 more categories. Paid and unpaid.
Paid.. I started sending out GWs. I sent them to everyone from the janitor on up.
Unpaid... If you have the money, then go for a PFD. I would try a few times. If no go, I'd pay/settle and then throw them into the paid category and went from there.
thanks so much shogun it is very much appreciated.
Anytime. When working on them, remember, patience is the key. I've sent GW after GW to some, and they said they would never delete. But eventually, it disappeared from my CR. I don't know if I got someone's attention, or if they were just tired of dealing with me.
If you need help with specific creditors. Make a new thread about it and we will be glad to help you out. You're not in this alone!
If you don't mind me asking how long did it take you to increase CS to mortgageable CS?
5 months. I had a goal of 2 years. When I first pulled my scores, my "high" score was 504. Within 5 months, my mid score was 680.
