Reader Question: credit report not updated after negotiation

Posted on: December 14th, 2007 by admin

Hello Ryan,
I mailed your negotiation letter a couple of weeks ago through certified mail. I got the green slip on Monday, but my credit report hasn’t been updated yet. Should I be worried? I haven’t sent them any money.
Thanks
Kenny

Kenny -
You sent them a negotiation letter and you expect them to update your credit report, yet you haven’t paid them anything? Here is how it works, once again Kenny: You send negotiation letter. They send you a letter back saying they are willing (or not) to negotiate. You pay them what you offered. They update your credit report AFTER you pay. This process takes months. Chill.
