LetoAtreides Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 While DV'ing an OC never hurts, it reallly doesn't give you alot of ammo since they aren't bound by the FDCPA.Have you gotten rid of all your old addresses? I.E. Getting a mailboxes etc box, changing all the bills to it, then having the CRA delete all the old addresses? This worked wonders for me with OC's I had been disputing for about 6 months.

Sometimes all they do is match their database up with CapOne's and never even pick up the phone. Time and again TU has been busted for this since that is not verification by legal standards.

klymax77 Posted March 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 No, i didnt ask the CRA. Is there a letter that is in circulation i can use? or just call them and ask them. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 There should be, just do a search for Procedural letter and you can go from there. I just joined here yesterday so I am not sure what direction I can point you. I am sure there is one circulating around here somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThanksGotta do it by mail. Always use CMRRR. If they don't comply and you did it by phone there's no proof.The FCRA says that they have to give you a description of the verificatoin procedure not later than 15 days after receiveing your request for the procedure. Just make sure you are clear in that you want names, phone numbers, addresses and copies of documents...otherwise they may send you a short 1 paragraph description that doesn't mean much.

Q Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 Yeah I was just reading the FCRA (for the first time) and saw that in there that you do have to specify what it is you want or something of that nature, unless I read it wrong or talking about something else.

I just got a few just like it and I told them what I wanted. ::sigh:: At least when you get this, you have more fuel to your ITS fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
