Question I have... Can foreign Grad student qualify for a home Lending Tree mortgage? Many thanks for any response. Another question I got... Merry Christmas everyone. I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday..

I have a problem that I'm not sure what my next move should be. I had bought a car back in 1995 financed through a bank. I defaulted on the payments and the car was repocessed in 1996. Never heard anything more about it until a CA got a hold of the account. The Lending Tree loan when repocessed was about $5,000. Back in the summer around June I sent this CA a Validation letter they never responded.

In the meantime I disputed with Experian (the only CRA it's on, they deleted from the other two EQ /TU). My biggist mistake is going back and fourth with Experian on this. I send them procedure request's and kept disputing which was verified everytime and the procedure requests were ignored. I just got another bill in the mail from this CA looking for payment. Please I'm not sure what to do next can someone please offer some advice?.

You betcha! however you might wanna make sure and wait for another person to confirm it as I am not quite sure. Better yet, why don't you email the Lending Tree guys because they can give you an answer better...

If your car was repossessed the original contract was voided by the repossession..

If all the legal requirements of your State on the repossession and subsequent resale were met, (check my website for State repo laws), then a claim for the deficiency could have been brought against you..

The UCC gives a 2 year time frame from the date of the resale to bring any action. Some States only allow 1 year in their Motor Vehicle Finance or State UCC statutes..

You can send the CA a letter stating they have no legal claim to pursue any collection on this account, and that any continued collection activities including reporting to any credit bureaus may be considered grounds for your filing criminal charges against them under your State's laws on fraudulent extortion..

As to the CRAs if the records show your original delinquency in 1996, it should be off your record as being over-age anyway...

Why-chat and waalien.

Thank you for the quick responses. Whychat I'm not sure about receiving any paperwork from the repo company. I really can't remember if I did or not. I would have to go back into my files and check through things. But it really does not stand out in my mind that I rec'd any kind of paperwork. Thank you for directing me to your site it was indeed helpful information.

The OC that was on there stated the 1995, which has since been deleted due to 7 years. If I cannot find the paperwork that I was suppose to have gotten from the repo company, how should I go about finding out if the repo was legit, or do I not have a leg to stand on?.

Waalien,.

Would'nt I also be able to get the Ca on this because twice now I asked them for validation which they have ignored and they are still verifiing it and sending me invoice's? (continued collection activity).

At this point, it doesn't matter if the repo was legit or not. They only had, at MOST, 2 years from the date of the repo, to try and collect on the deficiency created by the sale of the repo'd vehicle. That 2 year time frame would have been over in 1998. If they were going to do anything (such as sue) they would have had to do it before then. They didn't, obviously..

The CA (which one is it, by the way, Arrow?) bought a debt that they KNOW is time-barred from collecting, hoping that they can intimidate you into paying..

Tell them to go whiz up a rope...

No the CA is not Arrow. I think I'm going to utilize one of Whychat's letters and customize to this situation. These people are garbage...

I love the last line in your previous post about wizing up a rope. It really made me laugh..

Thanks for your help.

If the original delinquency date was say January of 96, the purge date would be Jan of 03. And for any date after Jan, the purge date would be that month is 2003. So, at this point in time, it can still be reported...
