Gotta be patient with CR updates.

Something will get partially updated and sometimes it'll take a couple phone calls and disputes to get things right. I just wanted to see if anyone else out there gets frustrated :evil: when updating or disputing the information on their credit report. I'm not losing my mind because I know that I've paid everything off and I don't feel any pressure talking with whoever happens to call or pick up the phone when I call. It's a great feeling. :D
I'm glad I didn't go with one of the online CREDIT FIXER guys 'cause it hasn't really been that hard. :roll: Just keep notes and keep disputing and calling. Get a couple generic cards (i.e. Capital One, Orchard Bank) and pay them off immediately. I pay them online the second I get the e-mail. When I use the card the one or two times I do in a month, I flip it over in my wallet so I know it's got charges on it. Kind of a mental thing. :roll:
I just can't wait until my credit report is ACTUALLY accurate. It's getting really close! I also can't wait until I achieve ELITE PLATINUM CREDIT STATUS and my score is astromically high, you know, like 1275. Just kiddin'. Heck I can't wait until it goes over the 600 mark..... any day now. :wink:

Personally, I would stay away from Orchard and Cap1 although I have a Cap1. It has an annual fee on it so when I get it paid off again, I'm going to cancel. Try Juniper for the I-Tunes card (I got $750 CL no AF) or Merricks Hooters MC ($750 CL no AF). Also, if you can get into the high 600's, go for a PennFed CC. You don't need to be a Federal Employee and they give some good CL's.

I've heard many people say bad things about Orchard Bank and Capital One but, so far I've had good success with them. I pay them off as soon as the statement is ready. I will drop Orchard Bank as soon as my FICO gets in the mid 600s and I can get better cards. Orchard (HSBC) posted to my credit report pretty much the day I paid the bill.
With Cap1, they approved me for a card (generic $300 limit) even though when I was approved the bureaus didn't even show that I paid off a Judgement to the local court for their credit card. The Judgement is almost completely updated, even though one bureau is lagging behind, and the original Charge-Off in the CAPITAL ONE tradeline is nearly complete as well. I guess they spit those Bad Credit $300 Platinums out like candy. It was worth the $19 processing fee.
