Re: Seeking guidance with repair

nice work so far on the collections

 

get yourself removed from these 2 asap - you will very likely get an increase on your scores when they drop off (may take up to 60 days)

 

AU:

Bank of America: $6000/$5200 Balance - 86%

Citi Card: $14000/$7500 Balance - 53% util

 

both of these high util cards are losing you more points than you are potentially gaining from their Age or CLs

 

you are on a good path for score increases given more time for the Lates to age

Re: Seeking guidance with repair

Will it be possible to have the 2 collections showing removed? I have been searching and have seen mixed results.

If these are not with the OCs internal collection department then you may be able to get them removed with GW request if they are paid, if not paid you would attempt the PFD. OCs are not going to give you PFDs and it looks like you have some OCs listed.. If anything derog is updating monthly those are the ones you go after first as they are hurting you the most. As stated by the other poster there are 2 AU accounts that are costing you more than they help so I would be removed as AU on those 2. AUs are typically used to get you started and once you have your own accounts you should wind those down.

The 2 have been sold buy the OCs so I will try a goodwill letter the delete from report. As for the 2 AU account I have removed from being listed as AUs. I'll update as my scores updates thanks for the kind words.

I have called the 2 AU accounts and had them removed, agents on the line said would take up to 60 days for the update. Hoping this will give me a boost to all scores!

Hi,

I noticed you were able to have the milestone collection removed. I am trying to assist my Mom with removing it from her credit but haven't had any luck.

Do you mind sharing your approach for removal? (Letter, call, etc.)
