Takeaways

• 😀 Understand the types of closed accounts: closed in good standing, closed with a balance, and closed with a charge off. Each affects your credit differently.
• 😀 Closed accounts in good standing can help your credit score, so don't dispute them. It's only the negative accounts that need attention.
• 😀 You can reverse late payments on closed accounts, but charge-off statuses cannot be reversed. A charge-off account must be deleted.
• 😀 Pull all three credit reports regularly from Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion (you can get them for free weekly) to spot discrepancies.
• 😀 Highlight any discrepancies between your reports, like mismatched balances or dates. Even small errors are your leverage for removal.
• 😀 Craft your dispute letters carefully—don't just say something is wrong; challenge specific inaccurate details to force a deeper review.
• 😀 Send dispute letters via certified mail, along with a copy of your ID and proof of address, to ensure they are properly received.
• 😀 Target secondary credit reporting agencies like Lexus Nexus, Data X, and Microbuilt. Erase negative items from all sources to prevent reappearing marks.
• 😀 Follow up on disputes after 30 to 45 days. If issues persist, escalate by filing a complaint with the CFPB and sending a second round of dispute letters.
• 😀 Be cautious with 'pay for delete' offers. Always get confirmation in writing before paying any creditor to delete an account, or it could hurt your credit further.
• 😀 Keep a thorough paper trail of all dispute letters, responses, and tracking numbers to safeguard your rights and help escalate legal actions if needed.

Q & A

What is the main goal of the video?

The main goal of the video is to teach viewers a proven system for removing closed accounts from their credit reports instantly, without waiting seven years, and to help improve their credit score.

Why are closed accounts important for your credit report?

Closed accounts can impact your credit score. A closed account in good standing can help improve your credit, while closed accounts with negative marks, such as late payments or charge-offs, can harm your score.

What types of closed accounts should you focus on removing?

You should focus on removing closed accounts with late payments or charge-offs, as these negatively affect your credit score. Closed accounts in good standing should not be disputed or deleted.

Can a closed account with late payments be fixed?

Yes, a closed account with late payments can be fixed by reversing the late payments, changing them to 'on time paid as agreed.' However, this is not possible for accounts with a charge-off status.

What is a charge-off status, and can it be reversed?

A charge-off status means the creditor has written off the debt as unlikely to be collected. This status cannot be reversed, and it must be removed entirely if it's negatively affecting your credit score.

How can I pull my credit reports for free?

You can pull your credit reports for free weekly from Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion by visiting annualcreditreport.com, not just once a year as some people mistakenly believe.

What should you do if the information on your credit reports doesn't match?

If you find discrepancies, such as mismatched dates, balances, or payment histories, you should highlight them and use them as leverage to have the inaccuracies corrected or removed.

How should a dispute letter be crafted for credit report issues?

A dispute letter should challenge specific inaccuracies, providing details about incorrect balances, account numbers, or dates. The letter should request corrections under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 609, and include evidence like copies of your credit report with highlighted errors.

Why is it important to send dispute letters by certified mail?

Sending dispute letters by certified mail ensures that you have proof of receipt, which is essential for tracking and documenting your efforts in case you need to escalate the issue later.

What role does the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) play in credit report disputes?

The CFPB can help if the credit reporting agencies fail to investigate or correct errors after you've disputed them. You should file a complaint with the CFPB if the issue remains unresolved after 30-45 days.
