grantjeffries Posted August 9, 2003 Report Share Posted August 9, 2003 One-Two Punch props to Grendel) From what i have learned so far, when you send a DV letter to a CA, you should send it CMRRR. They are required by law to inform the CRA that the account should be marked as in dispute. Failure by the CA to do so is a violation of the FDCPA. Once the green card is received back from the CA, you then dispute the account with the CRA as well. If I am correct so far, my question is, how do you know if the CA informed the CRA of the dispute as required by law? Do you call the CRA? Write a letter to the CRA? What method works best? It has been one month since the CA signed for the DV letter- nothing back from them yet. I disputed this online with the CRA. They have already verified the trade line and my account was only in dispute for 2 weeks. My next move is to send a procedural request to the CRA and a DV follow up letter to the CA (I am waiting another week on the off-chance the CA will respond to the first DV letter by snail mail...30 days + 5 more for mail.) I would like to have BOTH of them on as many violations as possible to bolster my postion for money damages and deletion. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sisflomi Posted August 9, 2003 Report Share Posted August 9, 2003 You will know that ca added the dispute by looking at your credit report. It will say consumer diputes and have something about fdcpa or fcra in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it say something different if the CA puts it in dispute? How do you tell the difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kb9tbq Posted August 9, 2003 Report Share Posted August 9, 2003 There will be a notation right below the tradeline in the note part - that says disputed by consumer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grantjeffries Posted August 9, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2003 Then what would this indicate? Did the CA properly notified the CRA of a dispute?Description CONSUMER DISPUTES-REINVESTIGATION IN PROCESS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
