KimPossible Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 My DH has a Cap One account that is due to fall off his reports 09/08. It is, obviously, a negative tl (charge off) on his reports. Just recently he began receiving letters from NCO and but he has not replied since it is past the SOL by over 2 years. There is a hard pull back in 06/07 by NCO but no tl by them. My question is, do I just let NCO lie and do nothing or do I send a FOAD SOL letter. I'm afraid if we do then it will pop up on his report and then he'll have 2 tl's for the same collection. It's like waking a sleeping giant. I feel like I just need to be concerned with what is already being reported.I have sent off the dispute letters for my reports and am in the middle of working on his. I'm tempted to see how my efforts worked before sending his. We each have 7-8 items to remove and when I read about others who've removed 20+ I think that maybe there is hope for us! I just don't want to cause any more damage in the interim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This letter is your formal notification that I consider this matter closed and demand that you, or anyone affiliated with your company, stop contacting me regarding this or any other matter except to advise me that your debt collection efforts are being terminated or that you or the creditor are taking specific actions allowed by the FDCPA or my state laws.
