Security Freeze to Delete Negative Items on Credit Report?

Is it true that if you put a Security Freeze on your credit with Lexis Nexis, Innovis, and Sagestream, it is easier for you to delete negatives on your credit report ?

No.  That was an old "method" that only occasionally worked with removing certain  public records - more specifically, civil judgments often verified via 3rd party vendors such as LexisNexis.  Judgments are no longer allowed to be reported on credit reports tho so... 

 

What types of negatives are you trying to remove?

Without patience, we will learn less in life. We will see less. We will feel less. We will hear less. Ironically, rush and more usually mean less.

Nothing you can do about inquires unless you can convince the ones who pulled your CRs to recode them as SPs. For a paid collection a GW letter would be necessary to ask for removal.
