Hello all, First a major thank you to so many of the experts here who are helping newbies navigate credit cleanup. I've made a lot of mistakes in both my credit and my attempts to clean it up (as I have learned pouring through archives for the past couple of weeks!) So, here are my questions 1) I have several items on my credit report that I previously disputed as "included in Bankruptcy." Can I go back now and demand validation (Magnus Credit Service) and X.Com. 2) Can a company MBNA continue to report a "charge-off" since they did so 1 month before I filed? They said "not included in BK since they charged off before." I understand from the archives they will validate, so anyway to get rid of them? 3) Should I bother to try for a Target Guest Card since included in My Ch. 7 was a "Marshall Fields through Retailers." I don't want an inquiry if I'll be shot down, and I already still have my Dillards and Macy's cards. If that's enough retail for my report, I'll hold firm. Thanks again for spending time educating consumers! Corie TU 599 Exp 606 Eq ? (BK after major medical from child born with special needs)
