Can you all please give me guidance on my plan of attack 😢
Theirmomma posted a topic in Credit Forum,
First thank you for all the knowledge posted here, I have followed CB off and on for over 10 years.
So here is me current credit Pic and I don't know what approach to take... except getting credit one and the AT&T charge offs removed.
Once I receive me new unsecured Cap 1 I'm hoping that gives me a score bump because I really don't have any open accounts as you can see. Discover said no to their secured card 😢 I have been a member of NFCU since 97 but my account is dormant just need to deposit money in savings to make active. But I was thinking I need to wait until I clean up my TU and bring scores up before trying for their secured card.
I'm assuming the student loans are hurting me but didn't want to contact them until I got better guidance from you all.
I could desperately use some guidance from you all

BofA - Max CL/Based on Income?
Rogue posted a topic in Credit Forum,
Well as most of us know, BofA if nothing else, is at least fairly generous with their soft pull CLI requests on a regular six month basis. It has also been well established that BofA has a de facto MAX aggregate unsecured credit card limit of $99.9K for most mortals, however IIRC both Hege and PotO have exceeded this.
So my question pertains to MAX aggregate BofA unsecured credit card limits in relation to total income so that we can set better/more realistic goals and expectations with BofA and not waste our efforts in pursuing limits beyond the BofA underwriting paradigm.
My aggregate limits are just a fraction below 50% of total income, so how far should we push this?

Nurse told me I’m in collections. Is that a violation?
MrsMoneyBags posted a topic in Medical Billing & Medical Collections,
So my ob office just called me back because I had a health question. The nurse told me I was due for an ultrasound but that they can’t schedule it because I’m in collections for $234. First, I had no idea we were past due but I’m not happy my nurse and probably my ob have access to my financial info. I feel like this could impact my care. I get being deactivated and not being able to schedule because of being past due. But the billing office should be the only one who has that info. If I called in, the receptionist should be the one to say they can’t schedule me until I talk to billing. It feels like a violation of privacy for the nurse to know bc it could impact how they see me and thus, how they care for me. Are drs and nurses allowed to know the billing info?- 4 replies

Medical Collections Reporting Wrong
rcarteraz posted a topic in Medical Billing & Medical Collections,
Hello, I filed bankruptcy in 2016. Since then I haven't really done much to take care of my credit. Stupid, I know. The main issue I've had is running high balances but I recently pulled my credit reports to see if there was anything else going on. I found two medical collections on my report from after bankruptcy. However, I'm almost positive the services are from before my bankruptcy. For one of the accounts it reports on Experian as IIB with no balance but on Transunion it reports as active with a balance. I tried disputing it via credit karma but transunion came back saying it was accurate and now there's a note on it saying it meets FCRA (see attached image).
For the other account I'm almost positive it was also a service from before bankruptcy. What's the best process to go about confirming this info? Should I send a debt validation or dispute it with the CRAs? I worry that won't do anything because it didn't help with the other case.- 23 replies

Ali’s Credit Situation: please advise
Aliroth posted a topic in Credit Forum,
Hello, this is my first post. I’ve spent time reading some recommended posts from “start here” but some of it became a little confusing/overwhelming so hopefully I’ve read enough to make my first post.
I first used one of my free annual credit reports in 2016 through Experian and the following information was reported negatively:
1) 60 days late as of Oct 2013
status: paid, closed.
2) 60 days late as of Sept 2013
status: transferred, closed.
3) Debt collector date opened 9/2014
Status: past due
4) with an old bank account I had a few 30-day late months but was then current and it was never 60 days late. The last time I was late was Nov 2012. My account closed in 2014.
Status: paid, closed.
5) sent to collections
collections opened 8/2012
status: past due as of 2015
6) sent to collections
Collections opened 8/2013
Status: past due as of 2015
7) Past due as of 11/2012
8) past due 12/2012
9) paid in settlement. last reported 7/2014
10) paid in settlement. last reported 7/2014
11) paid in settlement. last reported 7/2014
12) as of June 2011: transferred, closed
I used Experian again in 2019 for an updated report. I likely need some help finding the updated information please. I printed my report in 2019 and it looks a lot different and it’s shorter.
my current credit score as of today is 672 according to Experian.
I met my figure husband in 2014 and he has helped me a bit but we don’t know all the right answers. He has a high credit score and since we’ve been married he’s added me as an additional signer on his two credit cards. We keep our usage of available credit low, usually around 10% and we pay in full every month. I believe this has helped my rating climb from in the 500s to where it is now.
QUESTION 1)
Now that my score is above 670, would it be helpful if I applied for my own credit card, and linked it to our bank account to pay in full every month, or do I get the exact same credit benefit form being added onto his cards?
QUESTION 2)
I read information on this form discussing the removal of old addresses. I have two old addresses on my account. I left both prior to 2014.
On this same topic I have 2 old phone numbers linked to my account.
I assume I need to keep all of my names (madden names, with and without middle initials Etc) but there’s one name listed for me as Alii not Ali, should that be removed too?
QUESTION 3)
I just looked at my free Annual report from Experian in 2019. Should I use one of the other 2 soon and see what those reports say?
QUESTION 4)
where should I go from here. How am I to begin repairing past credit? I’ve been solid the last half decade so moving forward things will be ok, i’m just still dealing with the past. Maybe all I can do is wait until enough time passes but I’d be grateful for any advice.

It'll take a bit of digging (perhaps start from the end and work backward) but there are a lot of places to get free FICOs of various models. -
It depends on what you are trying to accomplish. If you have received your credit reports your next step is to go over them carefully. Look for any misinformation such as addresses you don't recognize, alternate SS#s misspellings of your name etc. Check your derogatory accounts to see when they might be coming off your reports, that will help tell you if it is safe to dispute them if they are past the legal SOL for being sued in your State. Follow this guide; https://whychat.me/GUIDEBOOK.html If you have medical accounts that are over 2 years old dating from the date of service, start a thread in the medical forum for individualized assistance. If you have any other kind of collection accounts, post in THIS thread the type of account and the date you first defaulted and your State. -
Whatever works
-
It would require that you be in contact with the lender and enter into an Agreement. Some will do so and some won't...but in order for it TO happen requires more than simply sending payment. -
it doesn't apply to closed accounts but for the open accounts check out this a thread with some info:
