Where to start?

Curious to know if there is anywhere in this forum where I can post my credit report and get advice on where I should start? There is so much information in here it's literally overwhelming.

Re: Where to start?

Start by listing your accounts, balances, date of first delinquency, your state statue of limitations, status, additional comments etc.

 

So something like this:

 

Credit Card 1 - $5,600 Balance / $6000 CL - DOFD June 2018, SOL 4 years, charged-off. 

Collection 1 - $5,600 - Midland Funding, not served. This is for the Charge off Credit Card 1. 

Credit Card 2 - $200 Balance / $600 CL - 30 Days Late, Sept 2018.  60 Days Late, Oct 2019. 

 

Accounts in Good Standing:

Credit Card 3 - $200 Balance / $600 CL - Opened May 2020

 

Inquiries:

Dec 2020

May 2021

July 2021

Re: Where to start?

Congrats on you taking the initial steps to repair your credit profile! If you have not done so already, first make sure all of your identifiers are reported correctly. If the CR is too long, I would suggest to break down the concerning data by category (Open , Closed, Collection, Inquiries, etc.), then post your concerns in the order that @Anonymous suggested to make it easier to address them. Good luck

Re: Where to start?

@oneofayykind Are you able to send GW letters on the loans due to the pandemic? If not, are you eligible to rehab the student loans? Regarding the lates on the student loans, this may be more useful to you:

I would suggest sending a GW letter for the Cardinal mortgage account due to pandemic hardship.

 

The Chase Mortgage should be scheduled for auto-deletion late 2021-early 2022.

 

The same (auto-deletion date) applies to the Navy Federal Account.

 

I would suggest sending GW letters for the Verizon accounts. See Verizon GW Success: https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Rebuilding-Your-Credit/Verizon-GW-success-by-phone/m-p/5611317?sear...

Re: Where to start?

Also, regarding the Amex Account, using the MyFico Search Tool, perform searches for both "Amex GW" and "Amex GW Success." Good luck with your mission!
