How do I fix credit report when the credit card company is no longer in business?
Question:
About 4 years ago, I had a credit card account with Conseco Greentree Financial services. The balance was sold off to another company when Conseco went bankrupt. I've since paid off the balance. I called the company that serviced the loan and they said there's nothing they can do since they don't appear anywhere on my credit report.
How cn I get this fixed? I can get Conseco to fix this since they are no longer in existence! HELP!!
Answer:
Dispute the credit account with the credit bureau. The credit bureau will try to contact the credit card company and when they find out they do not exist anymore you should automatically win the dispute and the account will be removed.
Good luck!
You dispute it with the credit reporting agency. It is up to then to reverify the claim. If they cannot then request that it be removed from your report.
bring it up with the three credit reporting agencies and dispute it as paid.
Same answer without the fedora. Dispute letters need to be sent to all three of the major credit reporting agencies: Equifax, Transunion, and Experian. You will want to include information on the purchase of your account by the other company, the amount owed and paid. Another thing, have you inquired with the company approving your mortgage iregarding the impact that this one discrepancy would have on the loan?
