Yes. I was only succesful in having one out of 3 things removed. One of the 3 items was a collection and they updated that to show as paid. No luck in having the charge off removed.
I said the collection was already paid, "not mine" for an account that was reported as "lost/stolen", and "not mine" for the charge off.
Geekpipe, I am going to try and dispute the previous address on my report as " not mine" and see if I have any luck. I might do it online, I haven't really decided or have had the time yet. I'll post my results once I get started...
Will saying "not mine" in many situations get you in trouble. Will they come after you with evidence or something...? Is it safe? Is there something better to use?
It's safe. Remember to delete all previous addresses !! its very important Matter of fact i somehow deleted my current address with equifax online. I guess it will come back sooner or later. hehe.
Last year I disputed several items online. It worked well because they get it immediately. Out of about 8 items I disputed, 6 were deleted. The only drawback to disputing online is that you can't explain your case and you only have the few dispute options to choose from.
Did Equifax provide reasons (documentation, signature, etc...) for the items that were not deleted? When they say the item was "verified", what is their supporting evidence? Thanks
They don't have any supporting evidence. All they give you is the creditor's address and phone # from where they supposedly got the verification. Sucks, doesn't it?
They're suppose to really investigate, but sometimes they don't. They provide the creditor's information so you can contact them yourself if there are any discrepancies on your CR. The CRAs will never do the detailed investigations. I think all they do is ask the creditor if the debt is a valid one and verify your address.
