alright, got EQ's response in the mail today-VERIFIED and no change.
now, i didn't do all the HIPAA steps correctly i don't think tho so i'm not sure what my next step should be.
instead of sending my pre-HIPAA letter CM, it got sent CMRRR. also, it was typewritten but was the font and color were acceptable i believe.
i don't want to complain if my ducks aren't in a row...WHAT SHOULD MY NEXT STEP BE?
very disappointed this process is not working in my favor yet, but hopefully, one of these days ; )
i'm just a little confused.
the letter from EX included my complete credit report (where the dispute was marked verified) so why would i need to pull another one?
the TU website dispute login process says my account was already disputed and verified back in february and the date on the viewable credit report is april 2 where it says it was verified in feb of 09
the EQ website is not giving me a free report and is asking me to call an 800 number for one but they one page report i received in the mail from them just on my medical collection states it has already been verified...
how do i get free reports that have a pull date of now to make sure i get the most up-to-date file to check???!!!
ps. also i went to the FTC website to look into their online dispute/complaint process, and that's another headache in itself. i would be disputing with the CRA's and not the CA right though??? also, what exactly am i disputing since there are multiple boxes one could check? is it that the CRA's didn't investigate my complaint or what....
ok i will start the complaint(s) with the FTC tomorrow-good to know!!. what happens once that is done though? does the FTC make the CRA's delete my med collection or do they do their own 35 day investigation?? do i need to send the FTC copies of my HIPAA steps??
all this stuff is very much confusing me-but i'll keep trusting u FUSED!!! : )
well, i did it. i did the online complaint against all 3 CRA's with the FTC. now, i guess i'll just have to twiddle my tumbs until they are done with their investigation.
i didn't fully understand the whole process, but hopefully they got the gist of why i was complaining in the comment box at the end.
i just complained that they didn't reinvestigate my dispute and that i followed the HIPAA process with no removal of info since the CA no longer had a business relationship with me. i also included the CA's information as listed on my credit reports.
do i also file a complaint against the CA to the FTC-i know FUSED said maybe...
also, FUSED mentioned complaining to the BBB-not sure about doing that either....
I JUST WANT THIS STUPID COLLECTION OFF MY REPORTS!!! AHHHH what a mess. sure has taught me a lesson tho haha
alright so i fired off two more complaints today! lol
one to the FTC against the CA
and
the other to the BBB against the CA
i really hope they know the HIPAA process b/c i was having a heck of a time trying to use it in my defense. i just kept saying it was PAID and that they didn't do their jobs getting back to me and/or investigating properly since i have no business relationship w/them so they can't report my medical issues/collection....
here's hoping this works. everyone cross your fingers (and toes) for me haha
i'm now 4 months into this process-ugh!!! good thing i'm not trying to get a loan huh
monday i received a letter in the mail from the BBB regarding my complaint against the CA reporting my paid medical collection. hopefully that will get it deleted from the 3 CRA's for good now. the CA has so many days to respond, and if they don't, well i'm not really sure what happens-anyone know???
have not heard anything yet from the FTC though. there is a number i can call however in order to get some sort of status update, maybe i'll call that number sometime this week.
