Had a couple year old CO from Sync-Amazon that had been subsequently paid to Portfolio Recovery about 2 years ago. Had previously tried GW with them on one occasion and was turned down. Yesterday got the alert that they had deleted the TL from all three bureaus. No dispute, no additional GW attempts on my part, just gone.
UPDATE: They have now deleted the WalMart Derog that was not due to fall off for another couple years from all three reports as well.
Well congrats! To both of you. Nice holiday present.

It appears they are purging old COs. I had an amazon and furniture account that charged off with synchrony one 2016. Both gone as of a couple days ago. I hope it continues because my old Walmart CO is still there.
Same, fingers crossed it's next.
This is a trend I have been seeing over the past year or two. When an original creditor sells the account to a debt buyer, they have often been deleting the original trade line. I've seen Citi, Elan Financial Services, and US Bank doing this, so I guess Synchrony is jumping on the band wagon. In my estimation, this makes sense because they have sold the debt. The remaining trade line is a legal liability if it is not reported with complete accuracy.
This just happened to me the other day as well. Got an alert than an old account was deleted and when I went on, it was Sync/Amazon as well. Interesting. If they are purging the debt though and removing it from a credit report, do they also remove it from their own system?
Saw this thread and as most of my COs are from SYNC I went and checked.
The ones that I paid off via Portfolio are gone. I was wondering how I was going to go about GW letters and lo and behold, poof!
Lets pray the rest disappear once I pay them off.

Perhaps, but they had insisted on my accounts remaining win attempting to GW even up to two years after the accounts were sold and paid/settled to debt buyers. Now, whoosh, gone

Check again, as of this AM my last remaining CO, Wal-Mart/Sync is gone from all three reports.
