It's proven by trial and error for multiple times, right? In credit repair, nothing is guaranteed. And I'm not want to sit here and say it's guarantee you're gonna get student loans deleted every time if you use this strategy. I'm not that guy, I'm never going to do that. I'm never going to tell you that. Or I will tell you use that in my experience more often than not, when done this way. We see some sort of better success rate. All right. Now, this works for federal student loan debt only, okay, only for federal student loan debt. If it's a private student loan debt, this strategy doesn't apply. Okay, so that's the disclaimer there. When you dispute a student loan, it's taken the same way as any other account, right. But with student loans, there's programmes that the Department of Education offers to borrowers or federal student loan debt programmes that include like consolidation of the loans and lowering monthly payments with income driven plans and different forgiveness programmes and things like that. So and that's actually what I got into when I sold my credit card company. So I mean, I've still been doing this, you know, for last five years, and I never stopped. What happens is, when you consolidate a federal student loan debt, what happens is, when you look at a credit report, you'll never see one student loan account, right? Like you got to see 458 10 different, you know, Navient, or Great Lakes or Fed Loans. Rarely you see one, right, you're always gonna see multiple of them. And why is that for every semester, that you go to school, that the power of education disburses alone, to pay for that semester, and all the credit report, that's what it looks like. Right? So if I see 10 accounts, I know that guy wants to school for 10 semesters, because the disbursement that the Department of Education gives to the student is per semester. So for every semester, you got to pay for classes, books, blah, blah. That's why there's multiple loans on a report, right? When they graduate, or they're no longer in school full time for six months, they have to start paying those loans back. And it's one payment for all of the disbursements right. On the credit report. It looks like you have six different loans. But really, it's one payment that's going to cover the entire debt. And if you miss that one payment, what happens to all six months on a report? They all show with a missed payment.

Daniel Rosen  4:51  

Oh, wow, that really sucks.

Bruce Positano  4:53  

It's terrible. Right now. The Depart of education gives you a 90 day cushion. So in order for it to show late If you have to be 90 days past due or more, so they will report your 30 or 60 days late, they will only report you wants to go 90 days late. Right? So I mean, it's a little bit better. They're the only furnishers will do that everybody else you're 30 days late, but you think, right. So federal student loan debt, you will never see a 30 or 60 day late payment on a federal student loan debt on a credit report. It will always be okay. Okay. Okay. 90 days late. Right. And people use that as a dispute reason. How is it that I'm, you know, on time in March, and then in April 90 days late, right. But that's why they didn't report your late, right, they reported you 90 days late when you're 90 days late. So what is the consolidation do the consolidation takes those six loans? I'm using six as an example. Obviously, they take those six loans, and the Department of Education pays them all off. Right to the to the servicer, so Navigant Fed Loans, Great Lakes, mohila, Sallie Mae, these are all servicers of the department of education loans, right servicers Think, think of them like the bank that is collecting the debt. So to the power of education says, You know what, here, Fred loans, I'm gonna pay you off these six loans, okay. And then the Department of Education reissues one brand new loan, in a total amount of the six loans that they had before, back to the client back back to the bar, right. So on the borrower's credit report, what does that look like? All six loans, the old ones are paid in full and closed, right? It doesn't say that was paid in full through consolidation, like, it reports exactly like it would as if the client had mailed them a check to pay them off in full. That's exactly how it's gonna report. So all the loans are now paid and closed, right? That's the benefit of itself. Right? Like, now it looks like you borrowed a bunch of money, you paid a bunch of money back, right? It looks good on you. And one loan is reissued back to the student in the form of one account, and the total debt amount, right. So you had $30,000, between six loans. Now, you still have $30,000 in the form of one loan. Right. And that's what happened. So now, those six loans, if you're disputing them, they're all loans. It's probably because there's some sort of negative aspect to them, probably a payment history problem, right? So what happens is what's those while those loans are open, and they have a balance, every single month, they get reported? Because it's an open account, it has a balance, every single month, the furniture right there is going to report to the Bureau's what what the account information is, right. But what happens once they're closed and paid? What reports what does happen? Nothing, right? There's nothing to report the account is paid off, you pay off your auto loan you trade in your car? Or is the lender still reporting that loan to the reports? It's not? Right. So student loans, the same thing, those old loans are all paid in close, meaning they're no longer reporting every single month anymore, you have one brand new account, now is the time to dispute those old loans. Because the chances of the furnishers even responding to the dispute are very slim. And that's why they come off. They're close, they're paid, you're not gonna go back and dig old graves to try to find stuff to verify information. They're just gonna delete, we don't care. Wow, that's brilliant. Yeah, now doesn't happen every time when we're gonna send it again. And last thing happens every single time. But more often than not, if you're patient enough to go through that process of first consolidating your clients loans, waiting for the lowest report as paid and the new lower report and now you hit them, then your chances are increased? What is a collection? Right? It could be one of two things. One, your debt defaults with Bank of America, Chase Wells Fargo, whoever was the original creditor where you incurred the debt originally? Normally, what happens is after about 180 days, the debt gets charged off. Right? And what is a charge off? It's nothing more nothing less than an accounting term. Right? It means that we're writing the debt off as a loss. Right. And at that point, the front of the original creditor, let's say, Chase, they have an option to sell the debt to a collection company, or to hire a collection company to collect on the debt. Right? There's a difference when they sell off the debt. They're selling off all the rights to that debt, they no longer owe it. Midland Funding now owes it owns it. When they hire a collection company. Still their debt, the collection company just hired to collect the debt. Right. Either way, now you have a collection on your credit report for the you know, Chase credit card, right, we'll say Chase, charge off balance zero, hopefully, right if they sold the debt, and then Midland Funding, original creditor Chase balance $5,000 That's how it shows up. Right? Right. So look, electric companies buy debt, they buy them in bulk, right? They go to chase, and they say hey, what do you got for me? You got anything to sell, and Chase is gonna be like they're gonna bundle all of these defaulted debts, total of $100,000 and No one is gonna say cool. I'll give you 15 grand for all of that. Right? And Chase will be like, huh, but I take zero, which I'm getting from the clients, or do I take the 15 Grand that I'm getting offered for Midland Funding? Right. So now I'm in the 20, purchases all these debts from Chase, they own the rights of them now is their debt they're going to collect. Right? So that's very important, because Midland Funding, just purchase a bunch of debt from Chase. But all the purchase, Daniel was what? Name, email, phone number and demo? Do you think that Chase sent documents and documents and documents from every single one of those debts that they sold them in a funny over 2 million funding? They don't, they don't, wow, they don't they just sell the consumers information I'll Midland Funding goes to goes to, you know, collect it. So that's how it works. Now. When you this collection companies, they have to first validate a debt before they're able to collect it. And there's something called a Dunning period, right? Where the collection company needs to notify the consumer that they now own this debt, and they're gonna come collect it, right. And the consumer has 30 days from that Dunning period to request validation of that debt from the collection company, right before the collection company can actually start pursuing the debt in a legal manner. Right. So my strategy for collections is very simple. A collection company cannot collect the debt they have not validated to the consumer. Correct. Okay. So what we do is we will send a debt validation request to the collection company, not to the Bureau's bureaus don't validate anything, collection companies validate, right? original creditors, Chase Bank of America, Wells Fargo, they don't validate anything, they verify things, right. So there's a difference between validation is a term they're not interchangeable. Validation is under FDCPA for collection companies. Right. So now I've sent a debt validation letter to Midland Funding. And I'm going to wait three to five days, and then I'm going to send a dispute to the credit bureau for that same account. Okay. Now, if the collection company verifies the debt with the Bureau, before they validate the debt to the consumer, that's considered an attempt to collect the debt. If the collection company verifies debt information with the Bureau's that's considered an attempt to collect the debt, because they're verifying a debt to the Bureau's right, and they cannot collect the debt that they have not validated yet. Right. So why don't we send a letter to the collection company first, because we want to make sure that they receive our notice of validation request validation first, before the Bureau's even get our dispute, because now we know they received our validation requests before they receive the verification requests from the Bureau. And if they verify the debt to the bureau before they validated that to the consumer, that's an FDCPA violation. Wow. Right? Can you use FDCPA violations as leverage to potentially get accounts removed? Absolutely. Right. And if you work with an attorney, the attorneys will eat that up all day, all day, they will love that, right. So now you're not only potentially getting the accounts removed, you're potentially even getting money back for your consumer, if your company is partnered with an attorney. So that's our strategy, when it comes to collections, we always go to the will send a validation letter, the collection agency first, wait a few days, then send a regular dispute through bureaus. And if the collection company actually verifies the debt without validating to the consumer, which happens more often than not, then you really got something you got some leverage now, right? There's a difference when you file a BBB complaint, or a CFPB complaint with leverage versus just their didn't respond to my dispute? You know what I'm saying like there's when you have more leverage, you have more power. So that's the name of the game, right? You want more power on your side to fight them with than not. And that's why every strategy that we have, is focused around trying to get as much power on the consumer side as we can to push against the collection agencies and bureaus to get stuff removed. With mortgage and foreclosure, it's a little bit different. Let's go back to loss, right, because the only reason credit repair works is because of the consumer protection laws that are in place, right? Where else it wouldn't work. Credit Repair wouldn't exist. You know, bureaus, don't just do things because, you know, you motivated them to notice because there's leverage, right. So the only way you get leverage against the Bureau's and the furnishers is if you can catch them doing something they shouldn't be doing. Right. So let's talk about mortgages. So there's a law in the real estate world called RESPA. Right, which is a Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act. And there's a bunch of different things in there that pertains to realtors and to lenders and to all that, but there's something that's really powerful, something called a qualified written request or Q WR. Okay. And what that is is a consumer can send what's called a qualified written request letter to the original creditor who the mortgage was with. Okay. And what that qualified written request is, it's requesting all documentation regarding that real estate loan, everything, not just the closing document ever closed on a house, if you bought a house, you know what it's like, right? Oh,

Daniel Rosen  15:22  

yeah, you're signing, like through a phone book. It's, it's a giant stack.

Bruce Positano  15:27  

So just the starting documents of a real estate loan is like this, right? Now, imagine every single building statement for that account. Right? The older you've had a mortgage for, the more statements you're gonna have, right? If, if the bank says I owe them $3,000. Today, and I've had this account for, let's say, three years, the only way that I know that the $3,000 balance on the current statement is correct, is if I know what was the previous statement, and the previous and the previous and the previous operating section? Because what if there was a math error in any one of those statements? Then is my last day moved to $3,000? Balance? Correct? It's not. Right. So that's what the qualifying request is, you're requesting all documents regarding that account? Directly to the mortgage bank, the lender who will lend the mortgage, right? And what are they going to do? Do you think they're gonna go into their, their filing cabinet open up the door, like the Bruce Almighty movie, right? And then get all those documents and scan them all? Or make a comments? Chances are, they're not going to do that, right? So because of what is easier for me to do is delete as opposed to send you all this information. They just delete, or they will ignore you. They won't respond, which is great. Because now Hey, you didn't respond, Hey, you didn't respond, Hey, you didn't respond. CFPB complaint, Hey, I've been requesting requested requests and have responded, and it wants to get something from the CFPB, they're probably going to respond, right? And now do you think they still want to go into their big filing cabinet? Get everything? Or do you think they're just going to remove the account?

Daniel Rosen  17:10  

They're just going to remove it? Right?

Bruce Positano  17:12  

So the name of the game is leverage, right? That's the name of the game? Who has the most leverage? Do the banks have the most leverage? Or are you finding a way to get more leverage against them? That's the name of the game. Late payments are very tricky. And you have to be careful. Let's talk about late payments when it comes to how much does it impact you? Right? Speaking of a mortgage account, right? If you're trying to get a mortgage, for example, a 30 day late payment will affect your credit score for two years. Okay, a 60 day late payment will affect your score for five years, a 90 day late payment or longer is a key derogatory item is gonna affect your score for seven years. Right. Now, you got a late payment on a credit report that happened 16 months ago, 18 months ago, is getting set up 24 months range, right? Let it go. My personal opinion, in a couple more months, it's not even going to be impacted to score anymore. And the impact and it's gradual, right? It's gonna thing you hard when it's first 30 days late. But once it's been three months, that 30 day late happen, or six months out a 30 day late happen or a year down the 30 they happen, it starts losing its impact on the score, it starts impacting less and less and less, up to where in 24 months, it's no longer even impact impacting it at all. So first thing to consider, is it worth even disputing in the first place? Right?

If it is, right, if it is, how many late payments are there? Right? If you're talking about one or two late payments, on an account that you've had for three years or five years, they've never been late before, your chances of getting a goodwill adjustment are high. And I've had that happen personally on mine. I had a bad motorcycle accident couple years ago, I was in the hospital for 11 days. God knows what I went through. And I didn't make a payment on one of my account my American Express card. Right? I was in the hospital couldn't figure it out. Right? Couldn't do it. I looked at my credit report and man crap, I forgot the American Express payment. Right? Dude, I called up American Express got to speak to whoever the highest supervisor was that I could explain my situation. The next monthly payment was gone. Right? So based on the relationship that you've had with your lender, right with the furniture, are you willing to do a goodwill adjustment on this? Right? I'll always start there. Right? If it's just one or two late payments on a really aged account, and chances are they're going to work with you they will do the adjustment. All right now you're talking about you got a whole bunch of 60 and 90 day lates and and all that and you're worried about getting the whole account removed because it's still open. But you have all these late payments. I wouldn't even go after delay payments. I'll go after the entire trade line and try to get the trailer because the chance of you removing multiple late payments and keep any accounts. I don't think I've seen it. I don't think I've ever seen it. Right. So at that point, it's more advantageous to try to get the whole thing removed than to try to fix eight different late payments on an account, especially if they're all t derogatory payments, right? So I go, you know, if it's one or two late payments is a 30, day late and fourth, a 36. And then you never been late before, obviously, something happened. Write a letter meant, you know, I got sick, or I lost my job, or whatever it is, we've had such a great relationship. Otherwise, please, please, please, are you willing to, you know, forgive this late payment, do a Google adjustment. Here's what I've done on my side to make sure this never happens again. I've unrolled an auto pay or whatever, send a letter like that. And chances are the banks will adjust. Now your account has like bird poop all over it. Chances are you just just try to get the whole countermove. Instead, repos are, again, different monster, right? It all goes back to loss. And I'll tell you, if you're spending your time not understanding and learning how credit repair works, you're spending your time doing the wrong things, right? The service that you're getting paid for, is to try to remove inaccurate, unverifiable obsolete information from your credit report, right? If it's accurate, and verifiable and not obsolete, it's not going to come off. Right? So that's why you can't guarantee it because you don't know if it's going to be proven to be accurate. And it's going to be verifiable, right. So you don't know that until you start the process. So with repossessions, it's the same thing, what laws around the repossessions, right, you got to study those and there's different loopholes that you can get through. And when it comes to repossessions, what we like to do is, first we ask how old right we find out how old the repossession is, if it just happened in a car was financed, right, not least but financed, and they had GAP Insurance, right? Did they get their GAP insurance money back after the repo? Right? And if not, then now you're already starting to see some inaccuracies on the account itself. Right? This used to work tremendously well a few years ago was Santander Bank, you know. But then there's other laws that are regarding contracts with auto loans, right? And you got to read them, and you got to know them. And it's gonna be different for every single account. But my strategy is very simple. I go to the bureaus first, right, I'll hit them three times, the Bureau's are just sending my requests over to the furnishers. Anyway, right, then I'll find something, oftentimes you'll find some loans, auto loans or leases, they have to be multiples of six, always, your loan will always be able to be divided by six, meaning it's 12 month loan 2430 3670 to 84. Right 66. If you see a 67, under the term for the loan at how's that all loans are divided by the variable by six, right or so that's a violation there. Right? Now, remember, you're sending all this stuff to the Bureau's the Bureau's saying all this stuff to the lender? The lender is verifying everything, when you get the lender to verify something that you know is not right. That's your leverage, right? That's your leverage. So that's what we do. We want them to verify it. Right? Like if you're not deleting that, I want you to verify it. Right? I want to get that letter back that says verify. Because then I can take that letter from the Bureau's I said verified? Not once, not twice, but three times, right. And I can write a letter now to the lender. And I can say you verified not only once or twice, but three times that XYZ is ABC, right? It's correct. It's clearly not. Because blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, you're reporting inaccurate information on my credit report, you're violating my consumer rights under the FCRA. I demand you remove this damaging information on their credit report immediately, right. And leverage. It's all about leverage, find what's wrong on the account, make, try to get the bureaus to verify wrong information. So now you have even more leverage, when you go directly to the furniture, and you rub that all over their face. You say you did this. That's awesome.

You messed up, get it off my report now, or I may have to find some legal help against you. Right, never say I'm gonna sue you, I may have to look at my options with an attorney. I like that you have that language in your letters to the furnishers. And you scare them. So I have a love hate relationship with increase and with what people say about increase. I personally don't care for increased. And I'll tell you why. We all know inquiries are 10% of your credit score, right? And from a 302 and a 50. That's, you know, 550 points to get to play with. So that's a potential 55 points that you can gain or lose on increase alone. Right. But that's assuming that you got all your inquiries today. Because just like late payments over time, they lose their weight. Okay, and a big misconception when people dispute inquiries number one rule is never disputed pancreatitis or an open account. Never do that. Okay. You made a mistake actually recently with one of our clients, and we did that their credit card, those oldest account that they had on our credit report got shut down, because we disputed an inquiry with an open account. Never do that, right? Where humans will make mistakes, you know, so they happen. So I know that happens when you dispute increase the open tide to open accounts, you run the risk of that account getting shut down, right, because what isn't angry and angry 100 times out of 100 times they actually happen, because unlike anything else on the credit report, inquiries are placed on the report by the Bureau's themselves. They're not reported to them by your furniture. How does that work? When you apply for a credit card with Chase? Before Chase approves or denies you What do they do? They go to the credit bureau and they say hey, Equifax, let me see a copy of Bruce's credit report. At that point before Equifax releases a report to chase. Equifax is going to notate on their own records, Chase has requested a copy of Bruce's credit report, meaning that's the inquiry. So the Bureau's put the Arizona report themselves, they're not reported to them by the bank. So someone requested that information with the Bureau's gonna have put it on there. Right. So that's number one, nine times out of 10, the consumer did it unless their identity was stolen. Right. So first, let's understand how the anchors get on a report in the first place. The Bureau is placed on there, they're not reported to them by the function. That's the first thing. The second thing, when people have a tonne of inquiries on your credit report, more often than not, it's because of a car loan, or mortgage, right? And we all know you go to the dealership, they ding your credit 300 times, I'm being facetious, 1012 times whatever. And because they're shopping around trying to get the chance to get you the best rate for your brand new car, right. But what happens is according to FICO, and Ficus algorithm, within a 30 to 45 day period, all increase tied to auto loans will only count as one, the only thing you want. So if I go here to Honda, and I apply for a car there, and Honda runs my credit and tries to approve me with six different banks today. And I was like, ma'am, I gotta think on this, and I walk across the street to Toyota. And Toyota does the same thing. And then two weeks later, and I'm gonna drive a Benz, I go to Mercedes, and they think my credit, the only anchor that's hurting me is the first one from Honda, within that 30 day period, right. So even though you have multiple inquiries on your credit report, only, it's only hurting your score once because you're not trying to buy six different cars, you're trying to buy one car, you're shopping around for a loan, so you're not going to get penalised as if you had apply for six different credit cards, right? Same is true for mortgages, right? Man, I'm gonna apply for a mortgage with this lender, they run my credit, I didn't like what they gave me they gave me a 4% rate and it's 2022. No, I'm gonna go over there, I got the two and a half rate with them. Only the first one counts within a 30 day period towards hurting the score. Right. So that's next thing to understand is like men increase only stay on the report for two years. And after 12 months, they don't even impact the score anymore. So how old is the inquiry? If it's close to 12 months or older than 12 months? I don't care if you remove it, the score isn't changing. Right. And they come off after 24 months. So now, people dispute all the inquiries that do not get approved for right so they bought the Honda and then dispute all the other increase. That's great and dandy, but it's not really doing much to the consumer. Right. And even when you apply for a mortgage, they're going to ask you, man, you have a lot of inquiries on your credit report. Here's a piece of paper and you got to tell me what each one of those inquiries are for. They're not saying denied, because you have too many inquiries. When it comes to a mortgage right now, for a credit card. Right? It's the same thing. If you apply for a credit card with Chase today, and then you apply for a critical Bank of America tomorrow, and then you go with one Wells Fargo tomorrow as well. Those are all separate increase because you apply for three different accounts. Right. So when people are denied for too many inquiries on their credit report, they're not the banks are not denying that because of too many inquiries due to auto loan accounts or mortgage accounts, is because you've been applied for credit very often recently. Right? And that makes you risky. Like why are you trying to borrow money so much? Right? Maybe I don't want to lend you anything. Right. So let's say you are going to dispute the inquiry. Then again FCRA says everything on your credit cards to be accurate, verifiable and timely. Right. So with anything, I'm not saying it's not mine, can you verify it's mine? Right? We never dispute not mine. That's just that's just unethical. Right? We're never gonna do that. Unless it really isn't. Unless the customer is like, I have no idea what this is. This is not mine. Right? Then I'll say, Okay, are you willing to file an affidavit with the FTC with the government agency? You're lying, you're gonna get in trouble. Are you willing to file that are even willing to go file a police report because somebody stole your identity? If this isn't you somebody did it. Right? And then that's how you know if they're lying or not, because if they're just saying not mine, because they know it could work, and they're not willing to do all the other stuff, then you know, they're probably not going to do it. But anyways, then you'd say, hey, please verify that you have permissible purpose from me to pull my credit, because that's right on the FCRA. The lenders need to have permissible purpose, to pull your credit, meaning you got to have authorised them. Do you have my credit application on file? I'd like to see that. Because I don't remember. I don't remember the day I did that. Right. I bought a car two months ago. Can I tell you the date that I applied for the car? No. So I'm not lying. I don't remember when I applied for this, please send me my original credit application. If you can't prove permissible purpose, you're not allowed to report this removed from my credit report. There's a legal and ethical way to do things without lying. without calling the Bureau's and doing this new little scheme, oh, I didn't authorise this delete lol. But as long as you get the right person on the phone, it's going to work. And then you're doing that you could do that. But why be shady if you can do it the right way. Right? So it's all about know your stuff. And there's no reason for you to want to do things in an unethical or illegal way. Right? Ask for the permissible purpose, ask for the documents. They have to provide it if they can't provide the note A letter reported. And now you have leverage. There's a strategy that, you know, has been working for for many years, and it's starting to start to phase out, right starting to phase out. Not saying it doesn't work anymore. still does. But if yours caught on to it, right. I mean, there's so many companies now using a strategy that they know what's happening. But it doesn't matter because it's still a powerful strategy. Right. You go when you when you look at a credit report, the bureau says the furnisher of the data is the courthouse right when you look at the credit report, it says us bankruptcy core XYZ as the furnisher you go down to the to the creditors information where you have everybody's addresses, they have the bankruptcy court information there, right. So the Bureau's are saying the furnisher of this data is the courthouse. Okay. So then what do we do? We send a letter to the courthouse, and we say, Hey,

do you verify or report information? To the credit reporting agencies? Reason why I'm asking? I see it on my credit report, they're telling me you told them that you're reporting this information to them. Please let me know if you do this or not right. And then the way we do it is we send them another little piece of paper with the letter that says a little box that says he asked me verify information with the Bureau's or no, you know, we don't verify information at the Bureau. And there's lines for them to write explanations or whatever. And then we also include a return envelope as well with the consumers address and name. So all they have to do is put their response in there and put in the mail. It's already pre stamped and everything. It's how we do it. And what happens is, when the court replies, they reply, no, we don't report anything or verify anything with credit reporting agencies. Right. Now you take that, and you send that to the bureau and you say, Please explain. You're saying they do. They're saying they don't. Who do I believe you're obviously telling me a lot of crap. Delete this from my credit report immediately, because I have proof that you're reporting inaccurate information on my credit report, the wrong furniture that's damaging. You're telling me I owe the wrong people money. Right. So that that strategy seems to work. And when the court replies, a lot of times, the court may not reply the first time and I have to have hit them a couple months before they finally reply. But some courts now have like a template already that they send, because I see like, Man, I'm starting to get the same exact letters from the courthouses saying they don't reply to or furnish information on the Bureau's. Great, take that put it in a dispute letter to the bureau and fire it off. Right and I have leverage right at the Bureau's continue to verify get you a little leverage, go to the CFPB website and file freakin complaint with your leverage, right because they may play around with you. They're not going to play around with the CFPB. That is awesome. By the way, they get the information from Pacer, which is a public record database. That's where they're really getting information from.
