    If a consumer were to get a letter from a CA, and in that letter the CA agrees to delete, should the consumer fax/send just that letter to the CRA's, or should they write up an accompanying letter as well to send with it (something that basically tells the CRA to delete, although they should realize it on their own).

    Also, if a consumer does do this (either scenario), would any type of proof of who you are need be sent, or just the letter(s).

    I did this. What I did was call the cra and tell them I had a letter requesting deletion from the reporter. They told me to fax it to their attention and it would be deleted within 5 days. I did, and it was.

    Keeping it simple works, doesn't it. :)

    Thanks for the sage advice. As always, much appreciated.

    good job, the cra has 5 days by law that once they receive valid information of an error, that they must delete.

    Mindcrime I also called up and told them to delete cause the CA sent me a letter. 2 of the 3 deleted on the spot and on 1 I had to mail it in. hehe

    These two fax numbers for EX are no longer valid:

    972-390-3974

    877-454-1010

    Another member of the board posted 972-390-3838. Seemed to work. I called EX just to see if I could get another, and apparently, they don't have faxes. LOL
