albert asked:

I plan on disputing items on my credit report. I have already ordered my FREE annual credit report but need something that will monitor upcoming “frequent changes”. I know it wont be free but which one, should I get since I’ll be watching all 3 major credit bureaus?
Thanks for your help and suggestions!

I am going to ask another question regarding which CC should I add to my credit card profile to add to my rewards. I have excellent credit, pay my balance in full each month, and I use my CC to pay for everything I can to rack up points/miles etc.

I am at a point where I want to increase my points and miles so there are some options. The question is, what is too much. I basically share a VISA with my wife, and have an older VISA that i keep. I realize that you should keep older credit cards for history. I want to add at least one AM/EX either the Starwood points, or the Delta Miles. I also might switch our Cap1 card to the signature to get 2 points for every $1 spent, instead of 1.25 for $1. That is a new card, not a switch. And recently, I have received letters for UNITED miles (20,000 bonus) and AA Miles (21,000 Bonus). I would love to use those just to add to my miles on those flights. Could I add 3-4 cards without hurting my excellent credit? I will not rack up debt.

gabriel i asked:


I have bad credit. I have already consulted a “professinal credit counseler” but got a half ass response. I am not ready to pay additional money to have someone else fix my problem. I have had bad credit for about 2+ years now. I used to have decent credit. It is estimated that I have around $20,000 owed. I would like to do this myself and contact the creditors, collectors and banks myself. I just want to know what would be the right approach so that they get paid and my credit report will show that I have made and effort to do the rigth thing? I have a family and would like to buy a house one day. I also want to go into law enforcement. So credit is important to me. Any advice would help. Thanks

The situation seems a little unfair to me. I find myself trying to find a decent job that will pay me enough to meet my monthly obligations and make some headway in cleaning up my credit. The problem is that those jobs tend to disqualify applicants with bad credit. I’m not sure what to do about it. Can anyone offer any advice?

Back in 1997, I ran into some financial trouble and took out a loan for the balance on a mobile home I once owned. I defaulted on the loan that year, but it is still on my credit report. I wrote letters to the bank and to the credit reporting agencies, and this is still on my credit report. This is the only bad credit/delinquency I’ve ever had. I would appreciate any suggestions.

. asked:


I did my research and I realized that i have a good credit report standing.

I only have 2 accounts that I am currently using.
Out of those two, for one I do have a balance but I always pay my bills on time except for two times when i was late because, the credit card company gave me the wrong due dates
They did remove the late fees however.
But 7 open in total.
5 unused
Two of them are sallie mae for school
and the other
1 for victorias secret- never used it. If I do use it I pay it once the bill comes
and the other two i dont plan on using.

Does that mean I have a bad credit score?

G-M-B-A asked:


Correct me if I’m wrong but when you “pay for deletion” you are paying for any record of the debt to be 100% removed from the report that a potential creditor would see (like when you buy a car or credit card) .

–BUT the debt is never actually deleted from the credit report that you and the CRA have access to.

So, there are actually 2 forms of credit report: one that potential creditors see, and one which only you and the CRA see.

Is this correct??

I am asking because in previous answers to my “pay for deletion” questions, alot of people are saying that debts are never 100% deleted from credit reports.
So that makes me wonder what the phrase “pay for deletion” means exactly?
Thanks!
