I've been working hard to make financially responsible decisions and get better control of my money.


I am now attempting to improve my credit score, but am having difficultly due to the negative listing on my credit report. Therefore, I respectfully request that you remove this negative listing from my report as a gesture of goodwill.

Sincerely,
