Hi all,

 

My first post after doing about a week's worth of research. I recently pulled my CR for the first time in 7-8 years. I've had my head in the sand, a hear no evil/se no evil kind of approach. But, that doesn't make it go away, being responsible and being addicted to this board does. ;)

 

I have multiple accounts that are in collections, settled, old, etc. It's a mess. I've just had almost all of the old addresses/numbers removed from my 3 CRs though, a good first step. I'm taking one account at a time, atleast till I get my learning curve rounded out.

 

I'd be very appreciative if anyone could help me with the best plan of action with this first account? It's a Verizon.

 

Facts:

-Opened 02/12.

-Settled it 05/13 for like 75%, so I could reopen service.

-reporting to all 3.

-Was never reported late 30,60,120.

 

Basically I'd just like to get the paid acct off my CR. Ive read about sending a DV letter. Any thoughts? And srry for such a newbie question but I'm learning. :)

DV's only go to CA's not OC's. You could attempt a GW letter since you are back doing business with them, just give them the facts on why it happened. I am going to advise you to get hard copies directly from the CRAs by US Mail, then sit down an triage all the baddies into groups before you start going after anyone, this way you can keep better track of what you are doing. Read, read these forums before you act they contain a wealth of info on how it do it correctly and what not to do, and if you get stuck go ahead and ask a direct question and the members will try to help you. Welcome to the board :)

Thanks very much for the advice Gdale. I downloaded and printed out my CRs from the big 3, but are they different than ones that would be mailed to me? or from the CRs that they email me after a dispute result?

 

I'll get organized first, create an attack plan. It's so overwhelming right now, knowing whether the method Ive chosen is the latest and greatest. So many ways to go about it! Thanks again guys!
