Or is it just maxed out credit cards? You're going to get a big boost just paying the cards down to 30%. What is your credit score? There's not too much you can do about hard inquiries, but you can write a letter to the credit bureuas saying you never applied for the cards. 21 inquiries is alot, but the good news is that they fall off after 2 years.

If the late payments are accurate, and the creditor verifies the accuracy with the credit reporting agencies, they will not be removed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
