Defaults Removed Successfully from Credit Reports

[Pinky69]

Some of you will be aware that from my "Invalid Default Report" Thread which grew humoungus that I have been trying to have defaults removed from my credit reports. I am very pleased to tell you they have been removed. It took me 14 months and one H of a fight but my credit reports are now clear of defaults. In the end it didn't come down to lawfulness - that would have been a court job - but to accuracy. Basically the statements they sent me were crap as a result of poor record keeping. When I sent these to the CRAs they could no longer argue "we are only following orders." An unlawful search has also been removed. I had already had a search removed and the ICO's ruling on that was that the reason for searching records diminished after an account had been in dispute for 2 years, so to get the second search removed was in the end just a case of quoting the decision the ICO had made on the first removal.

 

I can now tell you that the defaults were 2 by the Co-operative Bank and 1 by your friends and mine - CrapOne. The unlawful search was Cabot, a malicious search because I wouldn't pay them. All that is left for me to do is raise court proceedings for damages a la Durkin.

 

When I came on here in April 2007, I was £48000 in debt and had 14 accounts on my credit records, 7 of which were in default. My debts were eventually written off and 4 of the defaults fell off with time - the others have now been removed. I have clean credit reports and I don't owe anyone a penny - thanks to CAG. It was Priority One who got me started and she will forever be my heroine. Thank you CAG, from the bottom of my heart, and now I am trying to give back what was given to me. I will also be making a donation from my court cases.

Well done Pinky.,It's a fight to the end, but you have found as I experienced, you keep picking a way and eventually it unravels.

Its been a long time since I have been on CAG regularly (I only have time to pop by occasionally at the moment) but I can remember your fight begining Pink

 

Well done you, an incredible effort justly rewarded

 

I hope you get a nice ton of cash out of them for damages

 

Cheers!

Well done Pinky, all credit to you with your patience and commitment, you have gone a long long way to paying back that help and long may it continue.

There are countless people on here saying the same about you I'm sure.

[Pinky69]

It's true, Mrs H. And do you know the funny thing? I don't need credit! I did it for the principle of the thing - they shouldn't have been there - and I also wanted to kick ass! They are quick enough to damage other people, right or wrong, and the CRAs play along with them. Now it is their turn to know what it feels like.

Speaks For Its Self

We Are Proof Of A Lot Of Time And Effort Is Needed

Pass Maroondev - - but thank you anyway!

[Pinky69]

Hello guests! Pinky is coming after you!!

[frettful38]

Congratulations pinky I am really pleased for you

[sillygirl1]

Many conratulations - and hello to the 6 guests at 8.20ish pm on a Sunday evening, haven't you got anything better to do!

 

I am completely ignoring my credit report as it will be clear of junk in a couple of months anyway, and I don't need credit,

 

Sooner or later the powers that be will find out that the CRAs are toothless and do whatever the DCAs tell them, they don't act impartially and they don't report facts.

 

What I would like to see is that each creditor MUST produce a 3 monthly report stathing the following

 

1 No of defaults filed against customers

2 No fo accounts passed to third parties

3 No of defaults removed from customers reports

 

That way we could objectively decide to use their services...

Well done Pinky, hard work pays off in the end.

Thank you everyone.

[angry cat]

Excellent Work, Pinky!

[beachcomber60]

Congratulations Pinky

[Pinky69]

Thank you. I'm meeting friends for lunch tomorrow and they tell me I am now paying. Help! Get the defaults on again - quick!

[zingy]

Lol! Congrats, Pinky. Guess it just needs some hard work and a lot of time - gives some of us a little more encouragement.

[zingy]

Oh and some of the 'guests' will probably be the search engine bots as I'm guessing they will be logged as such on the forum.

 

And, with over 70,000 backlinks to the site and with it being constantly updated, I'd guess that googlebot 'lives' on the forums (thus always showing up on every thread as a 'guest').

[Pinky69]

Up 'em and at 'em Zingy - but yes - it does take a lot of hard work. It has been more that worth the effort though.

[miss muppet]

Congratulations Pinky, you are an inspiration.

[Pinky69]

Thank you, Miss Muppet. I still have a big grin on my face.

[Halibutt]

Well done Pinky and congratulations!

 

You and others have given some very helpful advice here and I must say it's thanks to people like you that my own situation is starting to look alot better.

 

There's a light at the end of the tunnel now - and it's not an oncoming train for once!
