charge offs deleted

im not really sure what happened but i had 2 paid scana energy charged off bills on my experian and equifax reports,  they were over 5 years old i paid them back in april/may and they changed to 'paid,was a charge off.' and i tried sending them goodwill letters and emails asking if they can be removed completely everyone who contacted me said nothing they can do and they wont remove it so i gave up well today i woke up to it being deleted from my experian report and my score shot up 50 points to 735 now i have to wait a day or two to see if it will be removed from my equifax report too im so happy right now but im wondering how or why it was deleted! lol

Re: charge offs deleted

Some things are just better left unanswered😉

That’s awesome!!

But, truth be told, it probably stemmed from your GW’s, it just may have taken some time before it updated...? Glad to hear it’s gone and the awesome point increase!!👍👍

Hope you have the same luck on EQ🤞

Yay! Congrats!

 

It happens alot that you request a goodwill and either you get no response or they say no but they end up deleting anyway.

Man this post gives me so much hope!  Have received nothing but negative news from my goodwill attempts.  Going to keep trucking though!
