I'm stumped. I'm not so sure what is the right answer. I'll do some Googling and get back to you if I got an good answer. You should email the people at Lending Tree as they probably could answer your Lending Tree question..

I read the F&A section which was very helpful. I disputed a few items I knew definately not mine( the don't have a balance on them) I am concerned about my Charge-offs since I want to buy a house in the next 12 months. One charge off has a zero balance and I never hear from that company. The second charge-off is $6600.00 and I hear from a collection agency (Zenith).
Would it be a bad idea to send a letter to the one that was charged off and shows no balaance on the report as not mine??. I plan on trying to settle with the $6600.00 in the next few months... |

How old is the debt (when did it first becomse delinquent), and what state are you in?..

I am in Georgia. It is MBNA cardit was opened in 11/98, reported past due 9/01 and charged off it looks like in 07/02. Says account transferred or sold / charged off account..
When I settle an account should I do it through the OC or the CA?.. |

That really depends on who you are dealing with. Which account are you talking about? I thought you wanted to dispute this particular one as "not mine.".
So to answer whether to dispute with MBNA as "not mine", no, I honestly wouldn't mess around with MBNA, unless you want to offer to pay them something. They will sue you in a heartbeat, and you are still within the SOL for it. You can dispute it with the CRA - but I think it would be better to pick out some detail that is really not accourate, a date or amount, and dispute that "I have never had an account with this company with blah blah blah..." If you dispute as "not mine" they will send you a form to file a fraud report.. Has a collection agency contacted you about the MBNA account? Is a CA reporting it?. Like I said, don't mess with MBNA - wait til a CA has it and mess with them... |

The MBNA has not tried to collect and it is not being reported by a credit agency..
The Chase credit card has been turned over to Zenith Aquizitions and I do hear from them once in a while,but they are not reporting either.. When I do try to settle with MBNA ( you said they don't play) what kinda of settlement would I even try to offer and do I contact the OC since it has supposedly been sold?!!. Thanks fro all your help!!!.. |
