当发现信用分突然下降很多,并且有DEROGATORY PUBLIC RECORD OR COLLECTION FILED的时候,首先去索取完整的信用报告。
一定要去3个信用局拿报告,因为有时候DEROGATORY PUBLIC RECORD OR COLLECTION FILED只会出现在某个信用局的报告上。
有DEROGATORY PUBLIC RECORD OR COLLECTION FILED也别慌,下面是我的经历。
大概在15年6月左右我discover的FICO显示我分数一下从740以上掉到了640左右。显示的原因是DEROGATORY PUBLIC RECORD OR COLLECTION FILED。于是我就去了这个众所周知的地方 www.annualcreditreport.com
虽然免费但是这个对于地址更换频繁的人来说不一定好用。我最后仅从EXP拿到了报告,其他2家不能verify地址。。。
下面是我从EXP报告中看到了
首先credit repair agent要分析下情况,要3个信用局的报告,建议从www.creditchecktotal.com拿,新用户只要1刀,拿完在收月费前记得关掉就好。报告就是一个pdf文件,包括3家的报告,提供信息几步就出来了,确实比ANNUALCREDITREPORT好用太多!
下面是credit repair agent的邮件内容。
“Total for repair will be $700 with $249 due at signing and balance due after we complete the repair -delete the collection from all 3 bureaus.We will order full audit of this account and you may only have to pay if the account comes back validated and active by the original creditor NOT the collection company. Please make sure Not to call the collection co yourself or release your personal info, they can collect your phone ids and etc and make it harder for deletion.”
“Once we get a full audit in, and if collection can not be validated or in violation we can get this removed, however if the credit comes back with full validation then collection will need to be paid, but we will work out a settlement on your behalf, and recode this collection so it doesn't affect your scores, and followed up with rescore to help you recover lost points.”
意思就是向信用局发audit,让collection公司提供证据,并且证明file collection的过程没有违规。
这个agent告诉我通常collection公司都不去应这种audit,应为花的人力成本远高于collection能收到钱。我当时也没有别的选择,自己上班忙也没心思去弄这些事,而且省的时间多加些班要高出请agent的费用。
2个月之内陆续收到3家信用局的回复,表示经过他们的调查这个collection已经被remove掉了。
