how long does it take?

[cindy02]

I have 3 collections that the CA agreed to delete from my credit report, they stated that the request was sent 4 weeks ago to have the collections deleted but is still showing up on report. Does anybody know how long it takes for Experian and Equifax to delete negative info?

1 or 2 cycles they should take it off when they receive notice,but we don't live in a perfect world.

If they they keep there word,some times they tell you that to get payment,That's why you always get things in writing?

I would keep hammering the CA. Keep calling them. Let them know it's still not removed.
I know for a fact a creditor can have a negative notation removed in as soon as a week.
If you're feeling froggy, tell them you're going to start filing complaints and seeking legal counsel if it doesn't go away soon.

Re dispute with the CRA and send them a copy of the deletion letter. It has worked for me in about a weeks time.
