My first question is Sign up with Discover Card, second year free? Thanks in advance for any answer or 2. Another question I got... Ok so this is what I have left on my CRs that is negative. Now, lets play pretend and say that if this was your report, what would you do?.

1Fb CC This card reports C/O monthly, reports a past due balance monthly. Acct was c/o in 2003 and never sold off..

UNPAID.

OC still owns it. Set to fall off in July 2010.

Boa GOL.

Boa CC.

Boa LOC.

These are 3 bank of America (former MBNA) accounts. All 3 have been.

Paid.

C/O in 2003, set to fall off in June and August of 2010.

Cap 1 CC.

Paid.

C/o from 2003 set to fall off Aug 2010.

HSBC CC.

UNPAID.

C/o from 2007 still in SOL, prob wont mess with unless I can rehab it€owe $600 maybe.

A&F CC.

PAID.

C/o from 2003 set to fall off Sept 2010.

All of these report to all 3. I think that the 1fb is the only one that reports monthly. I have disputed all these with the CRAs at some point and most with the OCs...I dont think any of the paid ones have ANY documentation of the accounts, period, but they wont delete either. I KNOW that 1FB still has all account history. Cap 1 wanted like 6 pages of my info before they told me anything, A&F had no info on teh accounts, BOA has most acct history (after prodding they produced it when I did a 623).

I *know* that it seems like I don't have alot of time left to look at them, but 6-9 mos is still alot of time after all I have been thru. I have been working on my credit for 3 years now..this is what is left..

My positives are my student loans (all dormant/in deferment) my HSBC card with 0 bal, my US Bank card 50% balance (150/300) and I think that is it. I had a National City secured card that had 2 late payments in June and July of this year, that card is closed now (dumb move I know).

My scores are horrid still. They are in my sig. IDK what to do. Anything I can do to boost my scores in the meanwhile? (I was looking for another secured card, but I am in CHEX so it is limiting my options).

HELP!.

I would like to know the answer too. Anyone here know what is the right answer. I'll do some research and get back to you if I bump into an answer. You should email the people at Discover Card as they probably could answer your Discover Card question..

Since they all fall off in the next year, I would wait until January or February and then dispute them one at a time as "obsolete" and hope you get lucky...

I did 623s with the OCs...BOA had all records, Cap 1 wanted like 6 pages of info from me before they would even look into it, A&F had no info, 1fb has all records. I didn't do HSBC since it is still sol.

It was mid 2008 when I did those. I tried a GW request for delete from 1FB, it turned into DRAMA, look at my other threads it was more recent....UGH...they are killing my score with their dang C/O every month and past due balance and util killer. Everytime I have applied for credit they are the reason I get declined.....

When you dispute as obsolete do they contact the OC or just go by their internal records? I have had good luck with obsolete before (as early as a year out) but I wasn't sure how they actually look at it..

623 is a method to attack tradelines that are with the Original Creditor as opposed to a CA..

Credit info center 623..

You should also report WFNNB to the Office of Thrift Supervision..

The OTS is an old federal regulator for thrifts and savings banks. Complaining to them has prompted quick deletes of Bloomingdales, Filenes, Victoria Secret and refunded charges from jcrew, etc..

You can file a complaint on the web. I call it fix your credit by whining and complaining..

That is my kind of fix it! Thanks!.

Just to clarify since I know nothing about them, what exactly do they regulate? Can I file complaints against companies for anything? OR only paid accounts? You can PM me!..

They regulate savings and thrifts. Basically, If it's not a national bank then I would complain to them. I have complained to the OTS about WFNNB in the past. I have complained about failure to respond to a DV and reporting incorrectly to CRAs..

You said that WFNNB doesn't have records of your account. Do you have a letter? Send the OTS this and copies of your greencards, and ask why they are still reporting this account to the CRAs?.

I wrote an article on whining and complaining at ehow. ots is on the web and easy to find..

They handle complaints about banks that are not national banks (OCC). they handle all kinds of complaints. what generally happens to me is.

1. complaint filed.

2. OTS writes WFNNB a letter.

3. WFNNB writes a letter to person saying we did nothing wrong but we will delete this account as a one time courtesy..

So really I can't say what the OTS does exactly, they just poke them and suddenly the wheels start turning and for me 100% of the time the situation got fixed!..

Haha got a letter yesterday from WFNNB and my results from EQ...THEY FREAKING VERIFIED AGAIN! EQ says that they updated the acct to show transferred...uh, ok..

The letter from WFNNB basically says they sell accounts in bulk, they have no info (third time they have told me this), they have no record of pmt (I do!), contact NCO....I am about ready to nail their a$$ to the wall....

Filing complaints with BBB and OTS tonight. Wish I was at home with my records, but I am not...blah...i don't know when I will be home though, could be a week, could be 3 months (I am in the hospital).

On a good note I disputed my 2007 HSBC C/O with EQ and they deleted! YAY! I got about a 30 point boost between that 0 bal on cards and 2 new student loans reporting.

Congrats on your recent delete.

Sometimes it's just a small victory that keeps me plugging away....

I admit to feeling a tad smug when they fold..
