Hello Everyone, I am Mrs. Grace Brown, Some few months ago, I was bankrupt, my husband lost his job and we ran into huge debt. I posted a question on wiki answers, and i got an answer from a certain "Dr. Paul Neville". Initially, i was scared and thought he was a scam. My husband encouraged me to try, and a friend he helped, also encouraged me, and i decided to give it a try.Within the next one week, i settled all my bills and today, i am a happy woman. I own a small business in Ohio. I promised to testify publicly, if he could help me, hence this testimony.You can contact him via e-mail: nevilleloans@yahoo.com. I believe he can help you!

If a debt is reflected on your credit report by a collection agency can the original creditor recall their collection allowing you to dispute the debt with the credit bureaus and have it removed?

YES, THIS COLLECTION ACCOUNT CAN BE DISPUTED; WHICH MEANS THAT AFTER THIS IS DISPUTED YOU CAN ALSO REQUEST FOR THIS ACCOUNT TO BE REMOVED FOR GOOD WITHOUT HAVING TO WAIT FOR THE SEVEN YEAR PERIOD. THIS WILL ALLOW YOU TO HAVE A CLEAN CREDIT HISTORY WHICH IN TURN INCREASE YOUR CREDIT RATING.


Can a creditor and the collection agency who purchases your account from the creditor both report the same debt in separate instances to a CRA?

Yes, they can and it's customary for them to. The original account should have all the history, including late payments you made and the status (collection or charge off), the DLA, and date the account was opened. It should not be showing a balance due once sold or assigned to a collection agency. It may have a statement about being sold or transferred, but not always. The CA account should have the date they received, or were assigned, the account and the current balance (often with interest added in). The DLA should not have changed.


Is it better to have an account removed from your credit report completely or to negotiate for 'Paid As Agreed'?

In the case of a collection account, it is always in your best interest to have the tradeline completely removed from your credit report as opposed to having it show paid. If the account is NOT a collection or P&L, then the opposite may be true. Let's say you have a credit card with 6 late payments being reported to your credit history. You negotiate with your creditor to have all the late payments removed from the tradeline, showing that it has been paid as agreed, never late. This would be better then to have the entire tradeline removed, as the now clean payment history will help to raise your FICO score. Having it removed will not have as positive an effect. You will lose all the credit history associated with the tradeline, as well as (if it is a revolving account), available credit. Not having sufficient credit history can be just as detrimental as having bad credit. Hope this helps!

How are bad debts treated in the final accounts?

Companies who extend credit to individuals or other companies set aside an account that is called allowance for doubtful accounts. This account can be based on the amount of sales or the amount of accounts receivables. In determining the amount of the account managers review the previous history to make adjustments. If someone does not pay, after so much time it is written off into this accounts. Sometimes the bad account is sold to another collection agency in attempt to collect.

What book in history has the best documentation?

THE HOLY BIBLE Er...no. In terms of historicity, Thucydides history on the Peloponnesian War gives a much more accurate and historical account. The Bible is not a history book. This book is such bull.


Can a collection agency for a non-credit card-type bill hurt your credit rating?

Yes Once a collection account is reported to your credit history, its origin no longer matters. If money is owed and it gets listed with a credit reporting agency as a collection account, it affects the main factor in your credit score: Payment history.

Yes, you can get Bad Credit Loan. A bad credit history is like having contracted an infectious disease. At least this is what most lenders perceive. Any requests for personal loans by people with a bad credit history are generally declined.


Is it true a collection of less than fifty dollars will effect your credit score dramatically even if this was the only collection?

The amount of a collection account is not what impacts a consumer's credit score. The impact comes from when the account is updated/last reported on the bureaus. The reason is that 35% of the score is factored from "History", meaning what has taken place in the past. (In the simplest terms, your credit report is a history of how you have managed debts in the past.) There is specific emphasis on items dated in the last 12 months. So, any derogatory item (even an old collection account) that is updated to within the past year will have a huge affect on your score. It also does not matter whether a collection account is paid. A paid or settled derogatory item is still a derogatory and will cause deductions to your score for the 7 years it is allowed by law to appear on your credit. If the account does not get updated, its' impact will lessen as it ages. If, on the other hand, the collection agency keeps it updated, it can impact your credit score for a full 7 years.


Can i apply for credit card if you have paid collection account on your history?

Yes. They will also consider how much debt your currently have and how you are paying your other current obligations as well. Just having a past paid collection will not hurt your chances in getting a credit card.


How many points can you expect to gain by having an account that went to collection with in the last year removed from your history?

Scores are determined by the person's entire credit history. Therefore, it is not possible to estimate the increase in a score by the expiration of a specific entry.
