I am/was going to try to buy a home. I was told that I would have to pay off all my collections in order to qualify. Of the 25 accounts listed on my credit report I have 5 in good standing, and 13 i have settled with,3 that are not suppose to be there (accounts transferred to different CA) 4 that are the original creditors(but have been paid when I settled)


When I called to pay, they all told me delete was not an option. So I just settled. Now I am wondering what I can do to get some of them off my credit report.

Since they have been paid can I dispute them through the Experian/Equifax/Transunion?


I paid off agencies in setlement as they promised they would remove if I ddi so, after I paid they said the marks would be removed per CRA standards and I had to just wait for them t o fall off my CR. To me, I coulda just stuffed the money under a matress and saved it, waited for the marks to fall off and then had a nice down payment I was sleeping on...

Still, check and make sure that the date of origin of it being a bad debt is when the account went past due with you, not with the collection agency who bought it as they cannot report wrong dates or change them to re-age the debt ( make it stay on your CR longer...) The date HAS to e the date the account became delinquient with the original creditor, regardless to who is trying to get the money out of you.
