Post your Experian Boost
bettercredit4ever posted a topic in Credit Forum,
I get my credit score from Experian and they are constantly promoting Experian Boost to add points to your score. I don't like the idea sharing more information and I'm assuming that it'll only make a difference with lower scores? Is this true? My score is 835 now so I don't need a boost but I can't help being curious.
Does anyone have a boost they can share?-

Private Loan--which SOL applies, from which state?
Ambrcat14 posted a topic in Student Loans,
Hi, I'm new here and got a notice from a credit agency on my private student loan. It's been 3 years since I last paid as I was contesting the amount and got sick. I signed for the loan in D.C. and the loan originated in OH. I now live in OH. I also stopped paying while I lived in NY (before I moved to OH). I just got a letter from a CA based in NY state (don't know if the CA state location makes any difference). My question is which SOL will apply? OH, NY or the shorter DC SOL of 3 years? OH has a number of SOLs, 6 years, 8 years so I'm not sure which SOL would even apply to the promissory note for the bank based in OH. How could I look this up at a law library. I'm not very familiar with the process if anyone could help with legal research ideas? I'm also contesting the validity of the loan because the promissory note states that the repayment period is 240 months and I think I have passed this point. Any help I can find would help a long way; very stressed out by this situation---there are so many ways this could go---if the CA goes through with a judgment and wage garnishment (I'm disabled and earn a very small part time income) can they revive the judgment every five years for 15 years (OH) even after the SOL expires on the private loan itself (3 yrs DC SOL, 6 yrs NY SOL, 6 or 8 yrs SOL OH)? I don't know if I should just ignore the CA or write them to dispute this loan (and risk waking the sleeping giant) or wake the sleeping giant with a dispute letter and prepare myself to go to court (have no idea how I would defend myself but would like to dispute amount of the loan, SOL etc). This all seems very risky. Can this debt sold to a credit agency be invalid?-

Should I use credit cards at 0% interest to pay off high interest loans?
snarf posted a topic in Advanced Credit Topics,
I have 2 loans for car at 5% and education (private) at 8% totallying around 12,000. Upon looking into consolidation loans and/or private bank loans I can not find a loan at less than 7% or 8%.
My fico is at 770 and will likely go to 800 after a recent dispute.
If I use 0% intro rates, this would mean I would need to continue to open new accounts after each 12 - 16 month 0% intro APR run.
Should I use credit cards at 0% to transfer this debt ?
What are some other options if any?-

FDCPA Violation- Capital Accounts
time2getserious posted a topic in Medical Billing & Medical Collections,
Hello Everyone! I am hoping someone can confirm that I am on the right path.
I am in Texas and I have 2 collection accounts with Capital Accounts(based in TN).
1. $72
2. $380
I sent a debt validation letter to the collection agency and they responded back with a ledger of the services. They are both for dental services from 2013 and 2015. I believe they have violated a few fdcpa violations but wanted to confirm before I respond.
1. "Interest"- the CA responded stating that the original balances were for $50 and $305. They blatantly state that the additional fees/ amount are for interest. They continue to add on interest, changing the balance by only a few dollars (typically $1-3 depending on the CRA). They did not send me anything that shows that the original agreement between myself and the dentist had stated that interest would accrue. Is this not a clear violation of FDCPA 807 False or Misleading Representations- I thought that CA is not allowed to add interest to medical debt, unless it was stated in the original agreement with the OC.
2. HIPAA/ Medical Collections- The OC apparently faxed the collection agency a ledge of what services were done. I never gave authorization. violation?
3. Stature of Limitations is 4 years for Texas. I know this typically means they cannot sue me BUT do I have any leverage here? Based on the ledger they sent
(a), current balance is $72, original balance was $52, 04/11/2013 was date of last payment made to the OC by my health insurance and the OC sold it to the CA
(b), current balance is $380, original balance was $305, 10/13/2015 was date of last payment made to the OC from insurance company, and they wrote it off as bad debt 05/17/2017 and sold it to the CA.
I am familiar wit the medical collections forum, but wanted to see if I have valid points when writing a response to the collection agency.
Thoughts?
TIA!!-

Charge Off, Collection(s) Won't Give up..... Buying A House
goodpeople82 posted a topic in Credit Forum,
Greeting CB family. straight to the point, I'm looking to purchase my first home within the next 6 month. But I currently have 3 negative accounts listed on my credit report. I tried disputing 2 of the 3 accounts online with the big 3, a year ago with no success. Here are the accounts:
1. GreenDot Bank (Secured Card)
Open: 1/4/2017:
Date updated: 6/19/2018
Last payment: 3/11/2017
Status: Charged Off
Balance: $89
-- I requested to have this account closed in March 2017. But the account was never closed and a annual fee was charged which represent the balance you see. How do i dispute this with Greendot Bank? They are the worse people to deal with. Sample letter(s)?
2. Credit Collection Servic
Placed for collection: 9/4/2014
Date updated: 10/25/2019
Balance: $239
-- This is a old debt from Progressive insurance that I believe I owe. This account is due to be deleted 10/2021. Last i checked Progressive still owns this debt and even was willing to take payment for it over the phone. So should I pay this directly to Progressive? And will CCS have to automatically delete this account sense I will be paying Progressive directly? The amount owed make this worth not fighting over, plus having this negative collection account off my report is worth $239. What do you guys think i should do?
3. Jefferson Capital System
Placed for collection: 8/1/2017
Date updated: 12/26/2019
Balance: $1,520
-- These people are the devil, they claim to own a debt they purchase from Verizon wireless. I've never had an account with Verizon wireless. i tried disputing this online, but it came back verified. They act like they want to help me get this account removed but want me to fill out identity theft forms. I'm not doing that until they show me proof this account even exist. How do I send certified debt validation letters to them? Does anyone have a sample letter? Should that be my next step?
Any and all replies will be helpful.

The date of service was November 2019. I've been opted out for quite a while now and have already gotten old addresses removed. Looks like I'll be sending OC a letter! Thanks WhyChat! -

What was the date of medical service?? If it was very recent (within the last year) and you are SURE of the amount you can pay the OC with the HIPAA letter insert "a" after opting out and deleting old addresses https://whychat.me/GUIDEBOOK.html -
