NOW I HAVE BEEN OFFERED A SETTLEMENT FROM ANOTHER CA- ENHANCED RECOVERY. I LIVE IN KY AND MY SOL ON CREDIT CARDS IS 5 YEARS, WHICH WOULD MEAN THAT THE SOL IS OVER. SO DO THE CA'S HAVE A RIGHT TO KEEP REPORTING THIS?
@Anonymous wrote:I say that because...if you know the debt is yours...why bother with the DVs...you have 30 days with the new CA...and if you pay...for them not to report...they will never report...then you can dispute the one on your report...But...if you DV them...you have to give them 30 days to validate...and then they probably are going to report...yeah they are not supposed report...while validating...but I have had MANY CAs...violate by reporting during validation...then you have to go to...filing disputes....and go to the BBB....and all that stuff...while in the meantime you would have a new collection on your reports...I respect and understand what Wonderin is saying...but I was just saying what I would do...if I were in your case...now you have to take all this info in...and figure out what will work for you...we are all here with a common goal...TO HELP...
@Anonymous wrote:Boy o my head hurtsI have a few options if i understand. And of course more questions1. pay Enhanced recovery if they agree no to report it (or since it isn't reported they automatically won't-right?) and then dv midland (or should i go ahead and dv midland?)2. who do i dv the cra or collectors?3. Pay no one and dv both - this is risky because it could cause enhanced recovery to report it-right?4. either way midland has no right to reporting this because they don't own it anymore-right?5. I might be able to scrape up the money but after figuring my budget (with school starting back) it would be way close. Is there any way to settle with enhanced recovery in a couple of payments and still get not have them decide to report it?
