Hello All,
There is alot of information floating around the internet about how to handle the credit repair project yourself. I would like to review the basic areas to try to put a flowchart together that would help myself focus on the overlooked strategies of credit repair.
1. pull a copy of your credit report and review the tradelines to identify damaging issues to your credit score.
2. Compile a send in DV (debt validation) letters to those tradeline furnishers who are identified as collection agencies. Send the letter certified mail with electronic signature confirmation or RRR (return receipt requested).
3. wait 30 days for a reply.
4. Re-send a followup DV letter to the CA with CMRRR (CMESC); include a copy of the original letter with the CMRRR.
5. File a dispute with the CRA and include a copy of the original letter with CMRRR requesting to remove the tradeline because the CA did not validate the tradeline.
6. If the CRA verifies the tradeline then file a request for MOV.
7. Send a 623 letter to the OC and see if you receive a reply.
How is this so far. What am I missing and where do I go from here? |

Hi wasko,
You cannot remove negative items from credit report. They will automatically remove if you improving your credit score. Never make late payments.
Thanks.

| This is always so confusing when your are not someone who is highly educated in the credit repair field. I like the original poster always seem to get different answers about the negatives. It has been my belief (from other members advice) that if you can get the creditor to agree for a pay for delete then you can in fact remove a negative. Others will say no to this. Is this because if a collection agency bought the debt you can not get it entirely removed because the orginal creditors mark is still there? |

Funny how everyone claims you cannot remove negative items from your credit report. Well, I am here to tell you you are all wrong.
Yes, you can remove negative tradelines with a pay for delete letter; if the CA and/or OC accpet it and follow through.
Negative listings that are not your accounts can be removed by the CRA by disputing them.
Now for all to people who continue to claikm you cannot remove a negative listing that is a legitimate account.....do your homework. Some of us smuks have had success in getting legitimate accounts removed by both the OC and/or CA. The cost.....time, postage and patience.
Yes, it is unethical but never impossible.
Remember, the same laws that protect the consumer rights are being manipulated by the OC, CA and CRA's. You can use those same loopholes against the same violators of the laws that are established to protect the consumer. Turn the tables on the industry.
Will the legitimate account re-appear? It is possible.
Will they eventually drop off your credit report....yes.
But why wait, if you don't have too. |

SInce Junly 2008,
I have had good success removing negatives from my credit reports that were in fact legitimate accounts.
Transunion - 6 accounts removed/deleted
Experian - 12 accounts removed/deleted
Equifax - 18 accounts removed/deleted
These include collection accounts, charge off's, 120 late pay, lien and a judgement.
Yes, the accounts are still owed, but they have not re-surfaced on any of my credit reports yet. Will they.....most likely not as the reporting timelines are near their 7 year cycles.
How? By using similiar persistence tactics by OC abd CA. Only difference is the combination of the law and statutes used to accomplish the goal of cleaning up my credit. The same statutes and laws used to protect the consumer from consumer rights violations can be turned against the CA, CRA and OC.
It is a matter of finding the right process and tools as each situation is different. The FTC has been little to know help. The attorney General has spurred some assistance in confirming receipt of correspondence. The best help I have found has been the the various forums throughout the internet that has time tested situations of both success and failures; plus the BBB, local District Attorney and of cource the FCRA, FDCPA, FCBA and FACTA.
My personal goal is too continue fighting until I have exhausted every possible remedy and the 7.5 year reporting cycle has lapsed.
I will not pay anything to these legitimate accounts until they can refutably show proof I owe the money. Persistance, patience and education can do wonders.
All this being done without a credit repair company. I have still yet to litigate with a OC, CRA or CA; but I am sure I am well prepared with all my ducks in a row....should the need ever arise.
Until them I will thank my lucky stars I have not had to go to the extreme legal measures. |

| You can remove a negative item before the 7 year period... But it will take some god honest prayers and hopes that the party whom reported this will honor your request... Per my lawyers advice, you can send in either a letter or a phone call to the party in which placed the negative item on your credit report.. My auto loan people, stated that they did not have to report the negative item in which they stated that if I were to make consistent payments on time thereafter that they would remove the negative reporting, and sure enough it has happened... it takes some creativity because the credit reporting agencies are so big that they can in fact remove something .... |

| Someone has pulled my credit about 30 times or more in past 2 months trying to get loans in my name. My credit score dropped to 540 because of this and I want those removed immediately. I don't know who did it but I can't use my credit at all now. |

Have you reported this to the police? have you frozen your credit? I would make a written request for all info on these credit applications. Are they from nearby? maybe you can go to the businesses and get there help in finding the perpetrator. I would dispute the inquiries and notify the attorney general. ask them for help in stopping the ID theft and getting the CRAs to delete the inquiries

| As for those who assume that you can not get negative credit remove from credit reports. Whether they are legitimate accounts or not, Yes you can. You need to challenge them with the accuracy of reporting the debt. As you know that FCRA requires the CB and CA to report 100 % information on Credit Reports. Challenge them on the accuracy and watch how some of the negative credit get deleted. I have had many removed from my credit report. Such as repo, liens, charge off etc. And none of them try to re enter the information again. |

Patience, timing and results. But you have to be a shrewd negotiator. No flinching!
Here are some ways to start improving your report and start getting those negatives down and positives up. In fact, I just put this up in response to someone on another post, so I'll summarize those here. Also, I've been hard at it myself for the past 3-4 years and document my personal experience on my blog at armchaircreditrepair.blogspot . com.
I started with 11 negatives and 3 positives three years ago at just under 500...ugh. But I've ended up now with 5 negs and 6 positives and a 696 (3 of the 5 negs are school loan issues clearing up in the next few months). I also have between 10-15k available credit /tradelines (compared to just $500 and unemployed three years ago and in big financial troubles!).
Here are those tips, summarized:
1. If any of those negatives involve student loan debts, think about consolidation. In my case, I even had some defaulted ones as well as collection ones and I was able to consolidate all of those and rehab them through Fed Direct Loans. Check into it. Plus they set up your repayments based on your income.
2. Get your three scores and reports - Just as mentioned above. Get them. Get free reports (1 from each CRA per year). What I do is get one every four months from a different agency..that way I can spread it over the course of a year and basically track my credit history and activity every four months for free. Start with Experian, then Equifax, then Transunion.
3. Dispute anything as necessary. If creditors don't respond to the dispute within 30 days, certain reported items might get removed by the CRA. Sometimes this happens, but more often then not, most disputes do not work. But it's worth a shot.
4. Put personal statement/note of hardship on your credit report.
5. PFD - Pay-For-Delete. Once you know all of your negative accounts, see if any will negotiate a reduced settlement amount along with a pay to delete.
6. Rehab - Some CA's offer ways to rehabilitate your account by making a successful amount of recurring payments in a row. This is an easy way to turn negatives to positive.

| Most times you cannot remove negative items off your credit list but you are able to have the negative item turned into a positive item. What you need to do is file a dispute with the credit card agencies I usually do mine online since it is easier. Then you usually pick from the reasons why you are disputing the item for example: never paid late. Now what most people don't tell you is that if the credit report agencies don't hear back from whomever your disputing against say a credit card within 30 days they automatically side with you. I currently have 2 negatives items on my credit report turned into a postive. I am working on some more and the more likely than not when you get one credit report agency to change something on your credit report it is easier to get it changed on the others. |
