Ok here is what my credit looks like through TU.
Civil Judgement 10/2008 619
CA 09/2005 232
Chase (charge off) 1931 (estimated to be removed 07/2010
CMI 01/2007 165
DEBT Recovery 06/2008 210
Elite Financial 11/2008 902
CA 09/2009 109
Ford Motor 22,991 (repossession,redeemed) Closed 07/2008
Harris and Harris 12/2009 395
LVNV funding 3284 (estimated to be removed 08/2010
Valley bank 2147 paid in full no late payments 12/2003
Credit union 9038 paid in full no late payments 03/2000
So the 3 that I have not paid in full are LVNV Funding, Chase, and Elite. Elite finacial I am currently suing for defomation of character (with the help of a lawyer) so until it goes through court it will have to stay on my credit.
I have recently paid everything else in full.
So here are my questions. Even though I paid the CA can i ask them to delete it of my credit with a GW letter or can I dispute the claim throught the CRA's?
I have no revolving credit at all, no credit cards,auto loans, no loans at all.
My credit scores are TU 490 Exuifax 580 Experian 600 as of 5 days ago.
I am about to purchase an automobile at a sub prime rate which i understand but what can I do to start bringing my score up? I am hoping that everything that I paid will show paid in full next month along with a new auto loan being paid on time. I have also been thinking of getting the Orchard pre paid credit card and just not using it.
Any comments or questions are appreciated and thank you to everybody for their time.
For two reasons, you normally cant dispute a paid CA with the CRAs. First, a dispute is based on inaccurate or incomplete reporting, and only goes to the item of information in your CR that is being disputed. If the debt was accurate, then there is no dipsute of the posting of its collection. Second, you have paid the debt, which , by your acquiescence, is considered as agreement that you owed it, and also leaves no remaining debt to contest.
Your only chance now is to ask them for GW deletion.
As far as briging your score up.my advice to you now is to be just as concerned with your score potentially going down. The Chase CO could easily become a new CA. The unpaid CAs can still lead to legal action, so be sure of your SOL on each, in sddition to when it will fall from your CR.
Getting into the good credit range will require you, at some point, to establish revolving credit (credit cards). You mght want to consider a low CL. secured card to begin establiing revolving credt. Just be sure to pay it off each month. FICO does not score the actual CL on the card, only its % util.
