I am in the process of "cleaning" up my credit. I have several negative accounts that should be scheduled for removal this year as per my State's SOL. ( 7 years). My first one will be 7 years old this March. I need help with the steps on how to assure this will be removed from my account.
1. does anyone have a sample letter that will help me with this?
2. Who do I send this letter to?( The creditor or the credit reporting agency)?
3. Will these accounts come off my account automatically or will I HAVE to write these letters? Can someone help me with the steps or share their own personal experience with this matter.Thanks

Old negative information should drop off automatically. Most of it falls off at 7 years. Bankruptcies and tax liens remain for 10 years.
You should pull a copy of your credit report once the 7 years has passed. If it's already dropped off (and it usually will) you don't need to to anything.
If it doesn't drop off, a short note to the credit reporting agency should suffice.
Do NOT have any contact with the creditor or any collection agencies about these! That can trigger a "re-aging" of the account. You'd then have a fight on your hands trying to get it removed.

First, your state's Statutue of limitations (SOL) has really no longer something to do with the reporting era. The SOL is the time-body to deliver lawsuit. fee restarts the clock The reporting era it truly is ruled with assistance from the FCRA is 7 years and 100 and eighty days from the first deficiency. no longer something restarts the clock. The products will be devoid of delay bumped off. you do not favor to do something. If with assistance from coincidence the object isn't bumped off after the 7-a million/2 years, then you fairly merely fill out the credit bureau dispute type noting "previous reporting era". you do not favor any particular wording or type letter. with assistance from the way, even as the object does fall off your rfile, don't be taken aback once you do not see a large boost on your score. The older the object, the a lot less impact on your score.

You need to check out this video on how to increase your credit score by using a 100% legal loophole. Here is the video URL: http://www.creditscoresecret.org
I was able to get to 595 from 489 in just one day and from 489 to 748 in just a few week; that's pretty fast in my book. Good luck!

You will not need to request that these accounts be removed - it will happen automatically on the 1st day of the month before it is due to fall off. So, if an account was due to fall off on March 1st, it fell off on February 1st.
