Welcome to CreditBoards! We hope that you find what you're looking for here.

Some helpful tips:

  • Your post may not get a reply right away. Don't be discouraged, this is a very busy board. If it falls off of the first page, feel free
    to reply to your post yourself, with the word *bump* in the text. This will *bump* your post back up to the top of the board.
  • If you haven't yet, take a peek at out Newbies Section.
    Everything that you need to know is in that forum, for the most part! It's a lot of reading, we know, but this credit stuff can have a steep learning curve. In no time, you'll be posting like the pros!
  • If you find that someone is discourteous to you, use the REPORT button at the bottom of every post - that will ensure that a moderator or admin looks at the post and decides if it is against the TOS.
  • Off -topic posts should go in the General Forum.

Again, welcome to the CreditBoards family!

Let me guess - it was either portfolio or lighthouse?

TU views this is permissable purpose and unfortunately won't do anything about it.

Not much you can do. You can try disputing it, but don't be surprised if they verify it. TU takes the position that it is a permissible purpose for a collector to do a hard pull on you, even though they don't need to do that to get the information they need about you, and they won't likely remove it.

Yes, unfortunately. Portfolio pulls mine--regularly there is even a notation that they have on there that they are allowed to do it until 10/2012. Also these are the ones that sued me. I went to court asked them to validate legally in court and instead they just put in for a dismissal w/o prejudice. Although i would have preferred with prejudice I agreed. hey, at least i'm not being sued any longer and probably won't be by them again, I'm kind of still in limbo with this since it is still within the SOL.
