Can I notify the credit report agencies in advance of something I want to dispute showing on my report?

Question by Valentine_21477: Can I notify the credit report agencies in advance of something I want to dispute showing on my report?
I stopped payment on check for services not done and the person took it to a cash checking store and got it cashed anyways. My bank said I had the right to stop payment and it’s the check cashing store problem for cashing the check without verifying the check was still valid. The check cashing store said they were going to take me to small claims court for the money. People have been telling me they might also notify the credit reporting agencies. Can I notify the credit report agencies even though it’s not on my report yet? Do I need to notify all three? Thanks in advance!

Answer by OC1999
You can not dispute what is not on your report, so right now that would just be a waste of time. If it does show up on your report you then need to dispute it with the credit reporting agencies. However, it will probably come up as verified by the Check Cashing place. At that time you need to take them to court to have it removed.

Let the Check Cashing store take you to small claims court. They will loose, as your bank said it was their mistake for cashing the check. If they want their money back they need to go after the person who cashed the check.

Q&A: Bank loan or debt consolidation program for credit card payoff?

Question by honhill: Bank loan or debt consolidation program for credit card payoff?
Due to a family tragedy, my husband and I are currently in $ 26,000 of credit card debt. All of the payments are current and the cards are paid on time with the accounts still open (we are not still charging, though). We are looking to seriously pay this down before the interest eats us alive. My husband wants to take out a bank loan and pay the cards off that way, but I am wondering about the debt consolidation programs you hear about (I know some of those are scams and some are real). Any advice or experience?

Best answer:

Answer by dakeen forx

If a person has accumulated a large amount of credit card debt due to multiple credit cards, the need for a proper counseling for credit card debt consolidation can’t be understated. Credit card debt consolidation counseling helps a person get vital insights into the facts that can help him get control over the credit card debt.

Credit card debt consolidation counselors are experts with a good knowledge of debt management, budgeting and behavioral patterns of credit card holders. These services are vital for those struggling to manage their credit card debts. Also called credit counseling or debt counseling the credit card debt consolidation counseling brings immediate relief to a credit card holder.

A person seeking credit counseling can get it from two types of organizations. The professional or commercial organizations, and the non-profit organizations. As depicted by its name or categorization, the commercial organizations charge money for their credit counseling sessions and consolidation help on the other hand the non-profit organizations offer free of charge services. Just because the non-profit organizations are free, it doesn’t undermine their quality of service. The persons associated with such organizations are thorough experts and have lived the trauma of being under credit card debt themselves and hence bring their vital experience to the credit card holder.

Q&A: How can one use their credit cards to invest without the investment qualifying as a cash advance?

Question by Michael P: How can one use their credit cards to invest without the investment qualifying as a cash advance?
Everybody knows using a credit card at the ATM or bank will qualify the transaction as a cash advance and cash advances carry a rather high rate. However today I heard a bit on the news;how to make money off of the credit card companies rather than them making it off of you. It featured some investment guru who talked about using available balances on credit cards for investments that have a higher rate of return than the credit card carries. I have a 0% until July 2007 with plenty to invest if I decided to do this, but how would I avoid the cash advance rate if it would be regarded as cash? Are there any investments that would list the transaction as a purchase? Please help, I am confused.

Best answer:

Answer by foxhound

First of all what kind of investment is going to give you a guaranteed return by July? You won’t even have time for a 6 month CD. And what kind that you can cash out in so short a time?

Investment means risk no matter what. What happens if they don’t pan out as expected? You will still need to pay the credit company. Plus you have to make payments as you go along. In addition 0% in most cases mean that if you have slow payed or have not paid the card to zero by the end of the offer you owe the regular APR retroactively on the previous balances.

There are way to many variables to even consider this as a good idea. Credit is the number one investment in life that one can make and it’s not worth making a few bucks to mess it up. Good credit means you get the best deal in buying a car, car insurance, housing, medical insurance and everything. You lose a bit of money that you saved and invested well you just lost it. Screw up the credit and it can follow you and cost you big bucks for up to 10 years!
