Need some help from any and all? I am down to one collection account on my credit report. The debt collector is good ole Asset Acceptance. I owed the original creditor, Beneficial, $10,000 and my DOFD is Feb 2008. (Business went south, lost my home, started a free-fall and making my way back now.) I disputed this collection account with all 3 CRA's in mid-May. The result was "verified" by all 3 CRA's. Additionally, Asset Acceptance has been actively reporting every month now with new, additional interest costs. The balance is now $13,712, I have no documentation from Asset Acceptance, nor have I ever received a phone call from them. I'm guessing I received documentation back in 2008, 2009, but I haven't been able to locate it and have nothing at this point. They are not harassing me. I compiled this original debt in the state of Oregon. SOL in Oregon is 6 years. I relocated to Nevada in 2012. Here the statute is 4 years. Either way, this debt is beyond SOL. I just mailed out CMRRR second attempt disputes of this account, but don't feel optimistic that this strategy will work. I have not mailed out an FOAD letter yet, as they are not attempting to collect from me........other than actively updating the tradeline on the 3 CRA's with additional interest. I have not DV'd them yet, as I'm not certain of the ramifications. I also have not attempted the 623 method. So I'm opening this up to suggestions. Obviously this account will drop off in mid-2015, but I'm wanting to get it off sooner. At minimum, I'd like to take an educated stab at attempting to get this account dropped from the Big 3 prior to next Summer. Let me hear some ideas and I will execute ASAP.
