I did a PFD recently on two medical collections. After I got a score watch alert I pulled my Equifax report and they were deleted, that was about 5 days ago. I just checked my Transunion report today and they have not been deleted yet. How long before I should worry about contacting collection agency to see why they have yet to be deleted from Tranunion?

I sent a GW letter to WFNNB asking to delete a Victorias Secret account (closed and paid in 2006) and an Express account also paid in 2006. I received a letter back saying my Express account has been deleted from their database due to inactivity. Since this is no longer in their database, do I now send a follow up letter/call asking for this to be removed again?  What steps should I take?

 

Thanks for reading.

 

I sent a cold PFD letter to RJM Acquisitions a few weeks ago, offering to pay $250 for deletion regarding a $665 CO Target account. Not only did RJM almost immediately send me a letter stating that they would be “pleased” to accept this offer, they’ve already updated my report showing that I owe $250 instead of $665. No points gained, obviously, as it hasn’t been deleted, but it gives me hope that they’ll keep their word.

Why, oh why, can’t they own the remaining baddies on my report?

So over the past 2-3 weeks I have been contacting the bureaus about items on my report now all those items I did owe but for some reason they have been deleted from the bureaus. My concern is will they pop back up because I have seen people on here saying sometimes old things come back. Now when i contacted the CA’s myself they said i would have to pay and they had my acct info but when i disputed it with the CR’s now its gone. Im happy and confused. myfico scorewatch went from a 587 to a 627. Im very happy but at the same time now i have a shorter credit history.

 

Also I have no credit cards open. should I open a secure card?

 

I started a month ago with 8 collections on my credit report. I have since gotten PFD on all 8 and all have been paid. I updated my SW today and 4 of the 8 accounts have been deleted from my report. My score did not change at all! How is this even possible?
