Ladies and gentlemen,it's time for my success story! Started in June,2001 ME: TU State Tax Lein(UP)-1 Collections(UP) - 1 Late pays -2 Repo-1 Charge-off-1 ALL DELETED,REPORT NOW SQUEAKY CLEAN. WAS-526 NOW-615 +89 EQUIFAX Collectons(UP)-2 Late Pays-10 Repo-1 ALL DELETED Charge-off remains,but not for long.The one TRUE error on my reports -the hardest to get rid of! Don't know what score was, but now is 670. EXPERIAN(UGH!) State Tax Lein(UP) Repo-1 LatePays-5 DELETED Remaining- Late pays-3 Collection-1 WAS-621 NOW-586??????????????? -35 DH: TU State Tax lein-1 Judgement(illegal) Collections(UP)-6 Late Pays-2 Repo-1 DELETED 1 Collection remains WAS 676 Now546???????????????? -130 Equifax Judgement (illegal) Collections(UP)-8 Repo-1 Late pays-9 DELETED Remaining- State Tax lein Charge-off(error) Don't know original score Now-643 Experian(DOUBLE UGh!) State Tax Lein-1 Repo-1 Both DELETED then re-inserted. Collections(UP)4 originally,all 4 re-named and added for a grand total of 8 remaining! Late Pays remaining-2 WAS 547 NOW 555 +8 Needless to say, if they pull Experian, (the CB of choice around here,) we don't apply! When I first statred repairing our credit, we could not finance a piece of bubblegum, and had 0 credit cards. Now we have: ME: Target Visa Target Guest Card Spiegel Best Buy Wickes DH: Capital One Target Visa Target Guest Best Buy Wickes I just want ONE CC with a limit over 5000, and then I will not apply for any more. I will never go back to nasty credit hell. Thank you all for all the info. I could never have done it without you! Not to say I'm done-still have a long way to go with Experian, and I think they want a lawsuit. If that's what it takes, then so be it. I think they must think I'm lbrown, and that's why they're singling me out and picking on me! Anna
Anna- Congrats!!! great results! The scores you are seeing are garbage, so don't let that hold you back!
