workinninetofive Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 I did "not mine" on a CA through EQ. They deleted it. I didn't even notice the original OC entry. Now, I have noticed the lates on the OC's TL. Should I dispute the lates with the CRA....or should I try to get a delete all together? I hate to keep deleting everything. At the same time, is it pointless to argue about the lates? I figure that they might try to hire another CA or it may pop back up again.. any advice on this?

anti-something Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 it depends, is the debt SOL?are you trying to raise your score to do something like buy a house?the lates may not be having an effect on your score, depending how old they are, and the TL itself may be adding good points from its age.

anti-something Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 i would be inclined to leave it alone. mainly because the debt is out there somewhere and if you dispute it they will be informed that you are trying to clear up your credit for some reason and someone will try to collect. it looks like they do not own the debt anymore, it is prolly with a JDB.couple of suggestions;if you have not already done so, opt-out at the CRAspost this over in the mortgage forum so the experts over there can tell you what sort of effect this account will have on your mortgage chances and choices.

Recovering Attorney Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 I agree with anti. You could ry a goodwill approach with the OC, it may or may not work. Getting the CA removed is more valuable. Given the history and teh amount ( and I assume you are still paying this?), you can probably explain it away to a flexible mortgage broker.Go to the mortgage section and see what those folks say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
workinninetofive Posted October 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 Hi,Yes, it went to a collection agency. EQ has deleted the CA but has the OC as listed above. EX & TU have the collection entry but they do not list the OC. I have tried the "not mine" haven't heard back yet from either.I never did pay either the OC or the CA. I know very dumb of me. But, we all make mistakes. Given that, would you:A) Leave it alone & try to explain it try to pay for a never late (something tells me they will laugh)C) try "not mine" with CRA's and delete it... do you think that will be positive or negative?Thank you for all your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
