CITIFINANCIAL ON YOUR CREDIT R

If CITIFINANCIAL appears on your credit

report and you are not familiar with the

account as it appears on your credit report,

contact me by e-mail. I learned recently

that CITIFINANCIAL had repackaged an old

stale MELLON BANK account that I had

disputed with MELLON BANK back in 1990-91.

Mellon Bank wrote off the balance it claimed

and this appeared as a black mark on my

credit report for 7 years. It came off of my

credit report after 7 years.

CITIFINANCIAL took control of this old

MELLON BANK ACCOUNT and reported this

account in its own name - CITIFINANCIAL - in

late 1999 or early 2000 as an account of

CITIFINANCIAL's just recenty charged off.

The credit bureau put this on my current

credit report and it would have reported

this account in CITIFINANCIAL'S name for 7

more years until 2006 had I not discovered

this when reviewing a credit report received

recently. I am trying to ascertain how many

other people this may have happened to.

IF THIS HAPPENED TO YOU, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. Thanks.
