i have done all the normal thing people like me do (i think)bad credit from about 3-4 years back all on unsecured debt(excluding two 30 day late mortgages during a layoff in 99. I disputed all the bad things cut the number of derogs in half on TU score went down redisputed what was left they sent me a letter saying they thought 4 of 9 were friviouls. a similar story with EQ only they just gave me the previously verified on abot half still waiting on word from EXP to you guys just keep sending dispute letters to the CRAs or do you try good will for a while. I am a newbie to this site but i really need a new mortgage but cant get it with scores in the 500s. PLEASE HELP
If disputes keep getting verified, then it is time to start with validation letters to the ca's. Have you read the faq's (the 1st thread at the top)? I suggest you do. I also suggest you read the FDCPA and FCRA. Do a search here for validation letters and you'll come up with a ton. Read them. When you understand why it is we do this, then prepare your validations and send them out. Ask any additional questions you may need to.
