Yay!!
Yeah, they did take a while. My results were due on the 11th of this month. They are very slow... But, they can't blame the Postal Service on this one!!!
Dustin, how many of these were hard inquiries? And how many were in fact initiated by you through applications? Thanks.
All of them hard, all of them by app's. 2 or 3 of them were by the car dealership, and I didn't want them on there. I only wanted the dealership and the actual finance company I went with. All these inquiries gone should help my score somewhat, I hope... Is there anyplace to get my Experian score online? For free?
OK, just checked...2 affirmed, 1 deleted..it was an old one but nice to have it off! Those after 6 months really seem to be nothing!
I did the online disputes and said that I had no knowledge of the inquiry. Worked great. I think I will use online inquiries along with snail mail for additional "spamming"... Almost clean. Most of my other clean-ups are just time... Letting some of my newer accounts age... In 2 years, I should have some awesome credit!!!
