I’ve got a collection with a Holloway collection agency, I’m trying to negotiate a delete for them, and I also have an LVNV.  The weird thing is, LVNV isn’t showing up in the collection section of either myFICO reports.  At 1st it showed up as a credit card. I sent a debt validation to LVNV, they didn’t respond, so I asked the CA’s to delete. The CA’s contacted LVNV.Â
Â
LVNV responded to the CA’s. but then all the negative late pay marks were gone from LVNV, and it’s not showing up as a credit card account anymore either.   But the weird thing is, it NEVER showed up under collections on my FICO. But it does on Experian,. It shows up as a “collection†on the direct from Equifax and direct from TransUnion too.
Â
I wonder if it’s not affecting my fico as a classified as collection account and simply showing up as a “regular†account, should I just negotiate a settlement if they don’t delete. If it’s showing up as a regular account on my FICO, I wonder a deletion of it would hurt my score.
Â
I was trying to get a house before April 30th. I doubt I make it, I’m turning the majority of my attention to this Holloway collection that’s actually showing as a collection on myFICO. In the meantime, while I try and figure this LVNV thing out. Cause I KNOW that’s showing up as a collection. I’ve gotten my other paid collection deleted with a GW, so after Holloway is deleted *fingers crossed*   I wont have any more collectionson my account according to myFICO.
