I finally got all reports over 700 scores, if you read the testimonials you will see how this was a minor miracle for me. I pulled my EQ today (660) and found this: Check Recovery Systems OC: Ralphs (dude I'm 29, never written a check) Original date - MAY 2000 First reported, JAN 2005. Do they really have nothing better to do than to hit me over the head 5 years later for $22 bucks!? Sorry all, just venting.
Good point. I'll get it out today. Here we go again. I had forgotten the 'joys' of this type of thing. Thanks for the advice. I'll update.
If you know you didn't write this check, be specific in your request. If they have misidentified you as the check writer, but they refuse to acknowledge the error and remove the damaging tradeline, you want to collect damages under FDCPA for misrepresentation, as well as force their removal. You want: Copy of check, front and back Name, address, and any other identification on check (phone number) Check number Date on check Amount of check Checking Account number Name of Bank Address of Bank Payee to which check was made out to Payee address at which check was presented Date received by payee Date returned to payee by bank
