Hello all, I am a newbie looking for some help in trying to fix my credit.

 

Well i have 2 unpaid OC bill's that where already sent to CA

 

One of the bill's are for 454.00

 

Other bill is for 207.00

 

Can HIIPA be used in this factor?

 

I also have been a victim of identity theft and, credit card fraud dating back from 2006. I am still trying to fight the CRA with this one.

 

Date's that where updated on those med bills where 12/08 and they where from my old address can i opt out?

 

Excuse me for my noobness, I am new and trying to grasp the terminology used here.

 

Any advice will be very helpful and appreciated and also would like to say, Thank you for taking the time to read my post.

Ok maybe I have not made myself clear on my first post hopefully i can shed some light for possible help.

 

I have two CA by NCO showing up on my Transunion CR Balance $454.00 and another balance for $207.00

 

With Experian I have two CA from Client service inc and a NCO I have no clue what the client service is from But the NCO shows at a balance of $207.00

 

On my Equifax I show to have two company names unknown. This score was purchased from Myfico.com

 

I had to call to verify some information before i obtained the score from Myfico.co and from what i was told by the representative or specialist was that my 2 CA account's where open as a trade not as a collection. He has informed me to go to the dispute portion of the Myfico report and under the tab "other please explain" to type in (Collection account not a trade line) and that is all. What do the Gurus think about this? What should i do in this matter? Should i go ahead and print out the letter and send it to my CRA?

 

 

 

 

 

This is what showed up under account's

 

 

 

Details states:

Largest past balance? $454.00

Now from my guess those two unknown company's could be the CA NCO

 

Now i need some help on how i can fix this problem.

 

Where do i start?

No, don't use those cookie cuter letter from MYFICO they are junk.....

Opt out first (you usually don’t need to opted out form all creditors)

Delete any old addresses when possible

 

Send the Pre-HIPAA dispute to each CRA where the medical account is reporting.

http://whychat.5u.com/hipaadisp.html

 

Follow all the instructions, even if they seem a little odd-personalized stationary �"Lilac or teal Fonts-

 

CM no RRR

 

If the account is NOT deleted with this initial letter, then find this thread and post in here for further assistance, don't start a new thread/post keep everything in one thread.

A quick question.

 

Can i write the hippa letter by hand? either with a lilac colored pen or teal colored pen?

 

Would the envelope also have to be personalized stationary?

You can write the letter by hand (cursive, not printed) on blue lined yellow legal pad paper, you can use a regular blue ball point. You need to hand address ( print legibly) the envelope regular # 10 )so that the PO scanners can read it .

Thank you.

Ok I opted out.

 

What to do next?

 

 

My old address are still on file can I delete them threw the phone?

 

I have to update my new address how should i go about it?

 

Do i update my new address first then delete the old one's? how long should I wait before starting to delete the old addresses on file?

If you send your address dispute by mail, you will want to include a copy of your DL, SSN, and two utility bills with your current address. They'll automatically update your report with your current address for you based on the utility bills you send. Your other option would be to call each bureau and ask them to delete the addresses. You don't need to wait to complete this step, you could go ahead and do it today.

Is there a way i should write the letter to dispute and update my current address? Would i have to write them separate letters one for disputing and the other for updating.

[r2-d2]

Just one letter disputing the addresses is fine. Here is a link to a sample letter that some have used:

When you send the dispute, include a copy of your DL, SSN, and two utility bills and they will automatically update your current address based on the information you send. You don't have to worry about that part, it gets done automatically.

what about if i do not have a utility bill im living with my brother and the only thing I have is my bank statement with my address and drivers license.
