I have used your tips and links more than once to help make financial decisions. To thank you, I want to tell you about a small error made in your most recent posting: The correct term is "statute" of limitations, not "statue" of limitations. It is a legal term. I work as a professional copy editor, and I do this kind of editing for a living. I just thought this might help you.

Here's a few tips from my experience. 1. When paying off debts/collections with negative remarks, require removal of the negative remark for your payment in full. 2. I suggest disputing the items with credit card agencies even if they are right. If the credit card agency can't get a timely response from creditor...it is automatically removed. If you get a No, you only wasted a hour and a few stamps to send the letters. It doesn't hurt to try. 3. I added my husband to my credit cards and closed his. He inherited my good history and it instantly increased his credit score. I cleaned up my husband’s credit when we were first married (took his score from low 500s to high 600s).
