Credit Repair Background:
Rowan was going through financial hardship at the time and advised his creditor of his situation. He made arrangements to pay off the loan. Rowan was also working away and explained to the creditor that he could not take calls and asked for them to send emails where he would contact them. They never did and the default was listed.
What were any challenges with the creditor?
Australian Central Credit Union advised MyCRA Lawyers that the information our Law Firm seek is archived and off site and are waiting for the documents to be retrieved. Australian Central Credit Union sought an extension to enable enough time for them to provide all the information our Law Firm require.
Why was the listing removed?
MyCRA Lawyers drafted FOS complaint. The issues raised were no clause in contract to advise that creditor had a right to access credit reports, and notice sent to old address. Australian Central Credit Union agreed to remove the default because they were unable to locate a copy of the contract and therefore could not prove that they had Rowan’s consent to disclose his information to a CRB.
Summary:
Rowan engaged MyCRA Lawyers to investigate the likelihood of removal of 3 listings on his credit file. These listings were the direct result of the time he was experiencing financial hardship. MyCRA Lawyers negotiated the successful removal of his bad credit default listing in 71 days. Rowan* is now a step closer to achieving a finance approval. Congratulations Rowan and good luck!
