kb9tbq Posted April 20, 2003 Report Share Posted April 20, 2003 You are in a time delima here - would think to speak with the collection company and negotiate removing the negative information in exchange for payment.Tell them you need confirmation immediately by fax to forward to the insurance company & to forward to the CRA to update file (asking them to update ASAP due to mortgage). And note to forward updated credit report to the insurance agency as well so they know when the changes have taken affect.Experian: 972-390-1680 FaxTransUnion: 610-546-4605 FaxEquifax CSC (affiliate) 281-878-1974 FaxIf CSC is not your area - will go hunt down fax directly for Equifax.
