just dispute them directly through the credit bureaus
Should I use the template I put in the spoiler above, or is there a different template I should use?

Also would it be debt validation or verification?

I know that the address that the collectors have for me is on my report. I couldn’t remove them from my report because of the collectors having the address linked to me.

Forget the templates. When you go through the process, there's boxes that you can check for the reasons that you are disputing. You will have to do that for each bureau the collection appears on.

Californ-i-a by way of BK
Went from the 500s to the 700s in 6 months :blessed:

Mine jumped 50 points, a little over 700 simply by getting my student loans back into good standings, and I'm literally paying them close nothing back now. I just had to be on a payment plan of 100 a month for 7 months to get it out of collections. Got it back in good standings, set up an arrangement to pay an extremely low amount a month and it shot up my credit score like crazy.

DirecTV pulled some bullshyt on me and made my score take a hit from 789 to 675..Once I disputed, my FAKO's rose back up but my actual FICO was still suffering..Got that shyt cleared up and jumped back up to 760..It ain't where I was, but I ain't even much tripp'n..

DirecTV can eat the fattest dikk tho..

See my post above yours...I was dealing with DirecTV on some bullshyt ass "balance" I owed, they wound up sending it to collections, I disputed, it fell off only to reappear under a different CA about 2 months ago..I said fukk it, called DirecTV directly and was told if I sent them payment, it would never hit my credit report..Of course it wound up hitting it..Dropped the shyt outta my FICO, AGAIN!

I wound up sending DirecTV's office of the president this long ass email about how I'm a single father looking to purchase my first home, etc etc and if he could see it in himself to contact the CA to remove the paid collection from my report..Dude (or someone in his office) called me back that same day and got everything taken care of for me...

Reach out to the original creditor breh, write a nice ass email about how the paid collection is effecting your ability to take the next steps in your day to day life..Bascially beg for mercy, that shyt just might work for you cuzz..

Good luck....

PS: Get EVERYTHING in writing when dealing with original creditors/collection agencies..They will lie to you like they never told you some shyt just because they can...fukk that shyt, if they promise to pay for delete, have them send it in email or letter via USPS...

Score at its highest ever. :banderas:

Two inquiries from my brothers car done dropped off the account last month. Plus my balances have gotten lower. Just gotta keep picking at them until the last two inquiries come off early next year. See if I reach that 800 hopefully by the springtime.

2019 is when I'll focus on my credit "repair". I still have a secured cc with a very low limit but a high balance. I've only had my cc for like 6 months so I'm still fresh to the game.

I'm pimpin' the hell out of my secure credit card. Use it all month for basically every purchase. $200 limit. Pay it down to $5.00 a couple days before the statement comes. My credit score is surging upward like crazy

Get at least $5 in cashback each month.

That’s my plan as well. I just need to structure it out and execute.

Didn't watch the whole video, but my FICO is 815 so I'm good no matter what.

They're basically just starting to look at the way you handle your checking, savings, and money market accounts too.

Read a few more articles since this AM and they are expecting most people to see a boost.

This is official FICO release
