Ron, Thanks, but this is for FDS National Bank (the current Macy's card issuer). It used to be GECCCC and this is who I am looking for. Any ideas? Thanks!
What are you writing? to get something removed? They have something in Tampa,Fl that would be the old GECCC route... Which Bureau are you trying to get it removed from? If that's the case... TU, and Exp are easy, because the old address are forwarded to India, since they've off loaded mail and disputes of such. For some reason EQ routes old stuff to Tampa, FL Not on all cases, but from my experience and 2 other friends the above is accurate. When you do EQ it comes back verified, with the Tampa, FL address. If you need that address i can find it for you when I get home...
If you want to send a goodwill letter send it to this address: Mr. James Zimmerman, CEO Federated Department Stores 7 West Seventh Street Cincinnati, OH 45202-2424 I had good luck with that address.
That's right, but when you dispute it goes to India. Shawnee, Mission is where all the research and correspondance goes(drop box) That use to be the location for Wards. They trans a lot of private label cards out their. If you have some old stuff off to india you go, never to return(on time) That's my experience. Hopefully it hasn't changed...
backspace, I have a MACYS/GECCCC acct that was included in Chapter 13 in 1996 with a DOLA of 9/96. It is scheduled to drop off this September from Equifax, but has long been deleted from TU & EXP. The thing is that this is reported MONTHLY to EQ ONLY, i.e. currently reads "Last Reported 3/2003". The DOLA stays the same but it is still reported monthly. I am just trying to get it off a bit early since it is my last derog acct. Any ideas would help. Thanks!
Hey Backspace is right. I also have an old hechingers account also own by this company. Hechingers went out of Business. I still have a collection agency still trying to collect a.k.a Hard headed Arrow Financial. I disputed and received deletion after sending a validation letter and disputed with the CRAs. Has anyone tried to dispute with Hechingers? ***Has anyone disputed with Credit management or Spiegel? If so, what did you do? Please explain in detail, please
Does anyone have any info for Burdines? I have been using an Ohio address for FDS and have had no luck with these people, they are impossible. It's the OC and they won't budge, not even deletion for payment.
Backspace, Do you have that Tampa address and/or phone number? It is only being reported to EQ. Thanks!
Niceguy, I thought BK were 10yrs? If not. I'd just let that one ride, because normally it'll drop off 6yrs & 9months instead of 7 yrs. Some have debated this and I'm sure it's not the norm for everyone, but like clock work they fall for me(EQ) 6yrs & 9months. I learned it froma old EQ employee. Hopefully it'll work for you as well. The reporting date you can't change it's when those *&^$ reported. They work in conjuction with a firm in NY "Plaza Research or Collections" I'd sit tight. When my acct was there I'd dispute everymonth, just to keep that tag line as "Consumer Disputes Account" going. Then it fell off as aforementioned 6 yrs 9months. I use to work for GECC for over 13yrs, and had my hands and time involved with that transistion from GA to KS and OH. nard4u; your're correct Hechingers was easy. It too was sent out to Merriam, KS along with HQ,Disney,Smith's,Banana Republic, Fred Meyer's, Suzuki, and Artic Cat,Merksamers and a whole lot of Carpet Accounts Now In Merriam, KS the office out there was Wards. All of these were GECCC Accts. It was cheaper to service out there. NOT... To make a long story short. Wards Close there doors again(left many people high and dry) The correspondance is handled in India. Except now Suzuki CS, because they pulled it back due to many complaints and CEO disgusted. Thats why any of those accounts you dispute will probably be removed because the time and research involved in routing to India. BetaCredit Burdines is one of the many old 3rd market accts, there's a Bunch of those. They're handled in Mason, and Kettering, OH. Mason is where originally MACY'S was handled. The bldg was right next to FDS. That was a bad investment for GECCC, Now FDS handles Macys and has for a while, but the old accts weren't transisioned. They were MONOGRAM BANK(aka. GECC) Office Depot was sent there in the early transistion days of Merriam,KS, but now it's owned by some other Company. Everything else is now in Kettering, OH in the Dayton area. I still have friends througout. I'll drop some calls to see how we can make that go away. Is that the Mason, OH location, Kettering,OH or what??? Sorry for the long story........
Thanks, backspace. Like I said this is the last acct still showing from my BK in 1996. All others have fallen off just prior to the seven years as you mentioned. The included in BK accts can only remain on file for 7 yrs not 10, just like an ordinary negative. The actual public record of a Chapter 7 BK stays for 10 years from filing date, and 7 years from filing date for a discharged (completed) Chapter 13. I guess I will just wait it out on EQ. I am just worried that with GECCCC still reporting monthly (all other included in BK accts stopped reporting monthly over 2 yrs ago) that when it is deleted automatically by EQ it will reappear the following month with a reaged date of last activity and then I will have to battle with them for breaking the law.
Backspace: It's the Mason, OH address. The last letter I received was dated 7/17/2002. It was signed by a Margaret S. (I won't post the whole name). I have even offered payment for deletion, they won't budge. If you have any contacts let me know. Like I said I'll even pay to delete. They did agree to cease collection efforts; but they will continue to report the account as an unpaid chargeoff. Until it drops off (next year). They do state that the application and sales receipts are no longer available. But they still hold me responsible for the account balance. It only reports to TU, I got it off exp & equ you can email me privately if you wish, just click on my name.
Niceguy, On Macys, has it been updating like clockwork?everymonth? Just dispute it twice? they will soon stop reporting monthly. EQ won't prevent you from disputing numerous times on MACYS. I did it and right before it fell off 4months to be exact they didn't update. You should be fine. There was a lot anger and frustration between the bureaus and GECC,mainly due to the billing, payment posting and incorrect reporting. Thousands of people filed classactions which are currently going on. Macys was a fixture also.. This is why the bureaus sometime don't respond and let the $#@!% fall off. Not worth the hassle Betacredit. I've sent two friends emails and left a voicemail for assistance. I'll report once i get some 411 .What state are you located? FL or CA? If either of the two there's a trick which can be done.
Backspace, Yes it has been updating every month like clockwork for the past 3 years, but only to EQ. It has been removed from EX and TU for the past year and a half at least and not shown up there again, only EQ. So you think disputing twice will get rid of it? Thanks!
I had an old MACY'S/GECCCC chargeoff in 10/1996; I hear now Macy is under a different bank called FDS? Does Macy's FDS Bank keep a blacklist of chargeoffs accounts, if one were to apply today?
Re: Re: MACY'S/GECCCC Address I found trying to deal with FACS about as pleasant as banging my head into a brick wall while getting a root canal. Contacting Burdines directly worked great: Timothy A. Adams, Chairman & CEO 22 East Flagler Street Miami, FL 33131 305-577-2312 executive offices 305-577-2170 another number I had I think his secretary's name is Barbara Davison. They referred my issue to "Executive Correspondance" at 1-800-543-9617 & 513-573-8257 aka Legal/Recovery Dept. It is part of "Dept. C" and the manager was Susan Namm in Jan. 2003, her fax # is 513-573-2898. HTH 0
