My question is which of these is worse on your report. First Premier is reporting one way on TU and another on EQ. At one point they were both paid after charge off, then I began sending GW letters to the president and for some reason it changed on the one report. Should I fight this or is it insignificant as they say they will not change their reporting after several letters.
Has anyone had any luck with GW letters to Macy’s or Bloomindales? I have already send 1 to each but came back saying what they are reporting accurate information. Both paid in full right after charge off about 5 years ago.

I’m in the beginning of working on my credit issues and I’m Not sure what to tackle first, but I did pay the smallest bill just to get it out of the way.. My scores are posted in my sig.
I applied for an Orchard Secured Card, a Credit One Card ($300), and a Capitol One card. Was turned down for Kohl’s.Not applying for anything else unless you think I should.
Â
I am looking to qualify for a mortgage by Jan 1st, and the lender wants me to have at least 620, but I would like to make the 700 club if at all possible.

I am pretty new to the forum and looking for some serious expert advice. I have been really focused on rebuilding my credit since the start of the year and have been doing pretty well at it. Credit Scores as follows: 1/1/10 Transunion-519 Equifax-513 06/01/10 Transunion-631 Equifax-585. Today I was approved for Best Buys Mastercard Gold with a limit of $510.00 I was pretty excited as in the past I would get rejected, so I am heading in the right direction. Below is my credit report information:

What should be my next steps to take? I am really trying to get my score at 700 to get approved for a new home and all the advice/help I can get will much appreciated. Any other information that might be needed please let me know. Thanks again!!

The same thing is listed on my FAKO reports: EX & TU are reporting with medical info but EQ is reporting but not listing the info. Do I still send EQ a HIPAA letter as well? Thanks for your help. This HIPAA stuff makes me nervous and I want to get it right. =)

I used to have a citibank platinum select mastercard. It charged off back in 2003. I had paid the balance from $2250 down to $800 (after charge off) in 2005 and then I moved and was out of work for more than a year and was unable to pay. The balance is now $885 and I have made arrangements to pay the remaining balance in monthly installments. Citi never came after me with a CA, and my account never left their internal CA department. I took it upon myself to call and set up the payment arrangement because I’m tired of owing it. My question is has anyone had their citi account re opened after charge off, or were they ever able to get another citicard? If so how did you go about getting in done? Thanx in advance for the replies and advice.Â
