Challenge vs Dispute : How to guide?

[Analysis]

I am looking for details about how to write and send a challenge vs a dispute. I am searching on the top right of this site, but thus far have found only unrelated posts and threads while using the keywords challenges and dispute. Most of the threads seem to be old, and I do not have a method of searching which brings me threads to assist. 

 

I am trying to remove some old NFCU collections, now just 1 year short of the 7 year drop off. They have been " disputed " many, many, times, with no positive deletions. 3 collections accounts on 3 different CR reports equals 9 negatives. Yes, I know I will lose age when I finally get them deleted, and I know NFCU is notoriously tenacious.....

Any suggestions?

"Dispute" is a term used in the FCRA.

 

There is no credit reporting concept called a "challenge."  That sounds Em Effy to me.

One suggestion you won't like:  stop splitting hairs in an attempt to get what you want.  Whether you use the term "challenge" vs. "dispute" makes no difference to the credit bureaus.  It is the same thing as far as they are concerned.  If you have disputed "many many times" already then you essentially cemented them to your report until the bitter end of the 7 year 6 month reporting period.  NFCU is notoriously tenacious.  Especially when their only weapon left is reporting to the bureaus.

You show to have registered here in 2010.  There have not been many substantial changes in the law related to credit reporting and collection  in the past decade, either at the State or federal levels. 

 

There are occasions where you are simply stuck with debt that you walked, regardless of the reason for walking it.

Have you bothered to actually read the FCRA? The above (supra in legal terminology) should tell you volumes about your numerous apparently pointless disputes. Your homework assignment is to read the statute you seek to invoke, and tell us why they are ignoring you.
