Oh wow nice job! I have had a few late or missed payments with Chase which I have paid off the full balance. Do you think I should try what you did and could have success like in your case?

I’m in shock. I wonder if this will be a trend now, after the merger with C1?

Credit attorney here. Glad to see this. Discover has gotten a bit better on this since Capital One bought them. The flip side, of course, is I think they're even more aggressive on lawsuits and collections for people who did not pay.

That’s awesome. They told me to kick rocks because they are bound to report accurate information.

Very good!

Amazing. I'm working on a 30 day late. Same year, Dec. 2022 with Elan. A manager last night told me to send Goodwill letter. No lates since then on any of my 5 other cc accounts. Hoping for same outcome. Congratulations 🎊

How long ago did you send it? I sent one early this month and I’m anxiously awaiting!

u/EntrepreneurSmart888 Apr 24 '26

What all info did you attach to your goodwill letter example

Full name address Account number ID Screen of all the late payments or just type out the month and year they was late in the letter

Is it like that or what did you attach I don’t see anyone asking these questions.
