How To Clean Your Blitt and Gaines Credit Report In A Flash
If you're one of the millions of Americans with a less-than-perfect credit score, you may feel like you're stuck in a never-ending cycle. Every time you try to change, something else seems to go wrong. But if you want to improve your credit score, DoNotPay can help you get a clean credit report.
Created by Joshua Browder, DoNotPay is an online virtual lawyer that offers advice. It helps users contest parking tickets, housing issues, insurance claims and can now help you improve your credit score.
Credit reporting agencies gather information about your credit history to create a credit report. A good credit rating can help you get a loan, a mortgage, or even a job. But mistakes on your credit report can prevent you from getting all these. DoNotPay will help fix any errors to improve your credit score and clear Blitt and Gaines from your credit report.
What Is Blitt and Gaines?
Blitt and Gaines refer to a debt collection that appears on your credit report. Whether a credit could have been due to an error, or you've ever been late or missed a payment, Blitt and Gaines may have purchased the debt from your creditor. And if the debt collector fails to communicate with you in a bid to demand payment, a collection account will appear on your credit report. But you don't have to worry, as DoNotPay can help remove any collections account from your credit report.
What Should I Look For on My Blitt and Gaines Credit Dispute?
If you've ever dealt with a debt collection agency, you'll know that they can be hard to deal with. You may even have felt powerless, embarrassed, or frustrated in dealing with them. Here are the key issues to look out for in your Blitt and Gaines credit dispute:
- The date and time Blitt and Gaines appeared on your credit report.
- Whether you were ever late or missed a payment.
- A record of any communication between you and the debt collector.
- Any promise made by the debt collector to remove or not report the account on your credit report.
- Whether the debt is from mistaken identity or fraud.
- A record of payment made to Blitt and Gaines or the original creditor.
- Whether the debt collector has proof that you owe money for that particular account.
If you want to dispute your credit report in a simple, easy, and efficient way, let DoNotPay help you.
What Is a Debt Validation Letter?
A debt validation letter is a document you send to a creditor to inform them that you are disputing their debt. It tells the creditor that you want more information about your debt, and if they cannot produce this information within 30 days, the account must be updated as resolved in your credit report.
The letter can be obtained through the Federal Trade Commission. The letter is one of the first steps in removing a negative credit report; it's sent to the company claiming you owe money and requires them to prove that they're accurate in their records. To help fix your negative credit report, DoNotPay can draft a debt validation letter on your behalf.
Ways to Clean Your Credit Report
There are other avenues you can follow in cleaning your credit report, including:
| Wait for the debt to expire. | All collection accounts have a maximum life of seven years—the statute of limitations. Sure, they will negate your credit score, but the effect isn't permanent, especially if you aren't planning on applying for a new line of credit soon. |
| Pay the debt balance. | Pay the debt balance in full to have the company remove the collection account as soon as possible. |
| Send a goodwill credit inquiry removal letter. | Request the company to remove the collection accounts from your credit report. |
| Send dispute letters. | Send dispute letters to all credit bureaus and the company once you find any erroneous accounts on your credit report. The law mandates the reporting bureaus investigate your complaint. |
| Contact non-profit organizations for counseling. | Reach out to non-profit organizations such as the National Foundation for Credit Counselling (NFCC) and request for a credit counselor to negotiate with you. |
How to Remove a Negative Blitt and Gaines Credit Report by Yourself
If you feel like you have the time and patience to deal with your Blitt and Gaines credit dispute, you can do it yourself. Here is the process:
- Find the Blitt and Gaines collection account on your credit report.
- Gather the details of how it got there and why you feel it should be removed.
- Write a letter to your credit reporting agency (CRA) to dispute the account.
- Wait 30 days for an answer from the CRA and see if they remove the account or add any information to explain what's happening with your Blitt and Gaines credit report.
- If an account is removed, then that's great. But if they don't add any new information, you can dispute the account again in the next 30 days.
The best thing to do is to contact the credit reporting agency. They'll send you a new copy of your credit report, and it will show if your disputes were successful. If you want to avoid all these hassles, DoNotPay can guide you on how to get a negative credit report cleaned up.
