Hmm... I need to find out myself. I don't know what is the answer to your question. I'll do some investigation and get back to you if I bump into an good answer. You should email the people at Discover Card as they probably could assist you..

Thanks for the advice!.
So, to paraphrase, you think I should keep it simple and save the other incorrect reporting issues for the next round of letters if necessary?.. |

The OC says they have your signed application for the account. Ask them to mail you a copy of it to see if it has your signature and data on it. Just because you claim to not remember the account and have no records (because you simply discarded them) is not a valid reason to have it deleted without a settlement...

It's kind of hard to argue both that you have no recollection of the tradelines while at the same time saying that they are reporting the tradelines inaccurately..
I personally would go down the "I have no idea what you are talking about" road until they prove to me that the accounts are mine. At that point, once ownership is established, then I would consider the path of innacurate reporting.. This post has been edited by. Jtoast. : 08 January 2010 - 05:29 PM.. |

Jtoast - thanks...that makes sense..
Fire3000 - my post was kind of long. Just to clarify, it is a different Chase account for which they have the signed application (and they did send me a photocopy of it). For the supposed Bank One/Chase account they only have supposed "documentation of phone conversations".. On a separate note, I find it amazing that, in this economic climate, Chase is willing to spend their employees' time on verifying accounts that they stand to recoup ZERO dollars on. Am I missing something or are they just evil/mean-spirited? (Their offices are in Chicago, after all!).. |

I haven't sent them my letter yet, although I did get a call from the Chase rep last week...basically a bunch of bs that they are reporting correctly, blah, blah, blah..
I told her that didn't make any sense to me and asked if I could both fax and mail her a letter. She seemed pretty disappointed that I wasn't just going to walk away from this, but she did give me her first and last name as well as her fax number and address.. I haven't sent the letter yet, but I am having second thoughts about just asking for more verification that it is mine.. I was trying to think from Chase's standpoint, and it seems to me that the more time they think they will have to spend on this, the better the chance that they will just delete the TL instead.... So why not just write a letter throwing in everything but the kitchen sink at them? I could include MOV, 623 issues, the fact that they smell bad. , etc.. Any thoughts on taking this approach rather than a multi-letter, step-by-step approach?.. |
