I have an aunt with an inability to handle money. My credit was excellent (score around 760). My aunt's husband had a business he ran out of their home and their computer died, so they needed a new one. They asked me to finance one for them and they would make the payments. Against my better judgment, I did it. That was November 2004. Earlier this year I got a call asking why my payment was late. I called my aunt and she insisted it wouldn't happen again. Then just recently, I found out they were FOUR payments behind, the balance was 3 dollars and some change less than the original balance was two years earlier, her last check of $25 bounced, and the account was closed and sent to collections. My credit has dropped over 100 points and gone from excellent to fair. I have transferred the balance to one of my own credit cards and am handling it myself, and hopefully my aunt will pay me. Is there anything I can do to get my excellent credit back?
