Hi I have a charge off from Santander (citifinancial orig.) for $1065. The original credit limit was $17,983, the car was totaled in accident and remainder was $1065. The date of last payment 05/2007 and exp & tu show fall off date 05/2014. I am still in the sol for 2 months. I believe this is preventing me from getting a good interest rate 15.99% offered but I declined. My question is should I #1 ask Santander for my amount owed, the only reason is because the car was salvaged and where did the money from the auction go to            #2 try to get a settlement lower than $1065 because of the sol      #3 pay the amount and ask for pays as agreed? if they will  #4 ask for a PFD   any advice is greatly appreciated I have been looking around and came up with those 4 options.

I have a credit card that was sent to collections but the debt collector has not reported on my credit report. I want to get the balance off my original credit card but i do not want to risk calling the collection agency and getting a new collection account. What should i do since I want to have the original account to show up as paid but don’t want the collection agency to report to my credit report

 

Hi Guys,

I pulled my free credit reports for the year and was going over everything to write some PFD letters. I am beyong SOL on all my negative hits and most everything negative will drop on it’s own in about 1 – 1.5 years. That being said, I would love to have it off now by negotiating some PFD’s.

 

My questions is that I came across an odd reporting from Arrow Financial Services. It is a debt showing $1,683 (the highest debt shown on my CR). I have no idea what this is. I had thought it was my one old credit card (I never had anymore than one), but the original credit line was $550 (just out of high school). As I was looking I do see this and it was shown to have been sold, but only shows a debt of the $550. If these are related I don’t understand the jump to $1,683.

 

Also, the Arrow Financial record shows DOLA as Oct. 2004, however it shows Date Reported 6/2009.

 

Since I honestly have no clue what this is should I DV it? I am in TX and I know SOL is 4 years so I am good.
