Dmckid Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 I have an involuntary bankrupcy that was dismissed on my credit report. Due to it being not filed by me, hence involuntary and being dismissed, hence it was unfounded, the credit bureaus are required to remove it from my report. Well Trans Union and Equifax both did right away with a hearty appology, Experian however, won't even let me dispute it anymore. SO I sent them PROOF, court docs that show it was involuntary. They investigated it 3 times all three times came back with IT STAYS. So I sent them the documents I paid for from the court which just happen to be a PACER printout, the courts wonderful way of archiving case information. I sent it to the credit bureaus, THEY REFUSED TO ACCFEPT IT AS VALID PROOF. Now I have shelled out all this cash to fed ex papers everywhere, requests to the court for reords, fed ex back to me, fed ex to the bureau, plus the fees for the court documents. I called them and said if you wont accept the only proof I get from the courthouse, WHAT AM I TO DO?????? I can't get a mortgage because of a BK that isnt my responsibility, it wasnt even a personal involuntary it was for a business. AND I NEVER FILED IT. I am so sure I have a case against them, they refuse to investigate and refuse to fix it, emotiona; stress does not even express how I feel rigth now.

admin Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 I'd send them an intent to sue letter, or just go ahead and file and serve them. You have more than enough cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xanathos Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 Aye, forget about the ITS letter. Experian's counsel told me when I was in settlement negotiations with them that they don't even read them, anyways. Heck, with that kind of a case, I'm not even sure you'd need counsel...just fill out the complaint, file with the courts, and attach the documents to the complaint itself so Experian's counsel can see it before they even contact you. I've found it works best when you put them in the mindset of certain defeat early on instead of giving them some sort of hope of victory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmckid Posted July 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 Thank you for the advice, I will try that. My only issue with this whole hting is shellign out the dough to hire cousel for this case, I REALLY SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DO THIS! But i have read all teh people who have won against these bureaus and have never read a one with such a slam dunk situation. But after what I have been through for this past year, I feel I am entitled to some compensation and will do what I have to to nail wem to the wall. I will keep you all aprised of what ensues.THanks a grip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanathos Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 Well, in something like that, you don't shell out for counsel. If he/she won't take you on on a contingency basis, you find someone who will. The laws governing the credit laws are pretty clear in that attorney fees are paid on top of damages. But again...with something like what you have, you probably don't need a lawyer, unless you don't feel you're a skilled negotiator. That story reaks of settlement.
