Dropped myself as AU on spouse's CC - Fico took a huge hit. Ouch!

Just recently removed myself as AU on my wife's Barclay Card. I had previous financial issues years ago but have cleared that up and have had pefect payment history on my own cards for 5 years.    Improved my Fico from high 400's to low 700's. Have improved my situation greatly I have been able to add a number of prime CC.   AE, Discover, Cap1, Chase Sapphire Preffered, Barclay Arrival+, etc. Wife and I are currently looking at seperation and figured it best to remove my AU status on her long-standing Barclay card. My one recent (5 year+) history is 100% on-time payments and generally PIF prior to statement cut dates. Wife's recent history is 3-4 late payments on her Barclay card that I was still listed as AU but not personally using. While my AU status on her card was active, that Barclay tradeline would report monthly on my file but only the positive information was reported.    Now that I cancelled my AU status on her card Barclay is reporting that I am no longer responsible for any of her activities but her negative late payments are now showing up on my credit report and it has caused my own FICO to drop down in to the very low 600 range. Yikes! Suggestions on how to correct this?    

FYI called Barclay and they agreed to remove this AU account from all three bureaus.    CSR said it could take 30-60 days, however, so they suggested that it would speed things up if I also put in a dispute with bureaus. Followed that advice and TU and EX deleted the file promptly (within a day or two).   EQ, however, is dragging their feet.   3 weeks past and dispute still open and no removal. Will call Barclay and EQ again today to see what can be done to resolve this. ------------------------ Stats: Starting FICO's = Low 500's  /   June 2014 FICO's =  +/- 585 Current FICO's (7/15/2015):      TU = 687  /  EX = 670 /  EQ = 653 (still has that disputed negative AU account on file) /  CK-TU = 723 /  CK-EQ = 681 Wallet: Cap1 QuickSilver:  $14.5K  /   Discover It:  $11K    /   AmEx Green:   $20K (approved spending limit)  /  Chase Sapphire Preferred:  $8K  /   Barclay Arrival+:   $5K   /   Target:  $1k  /  Compass BBVA:  $9K (Secured) Overall Utilization:    1% of $48.5K available credit (not counting AmEx $20K)

  • My drop-down list won't appear anymore so every time I want to go to a new site I have to type it in where before my drop-down box would appear and I could just click it and hit search and go there how do I make my drop-down box come back

    somehow I must've clicked a button that took away my drop down box when I go to use my Google search so different sites that I go to a lot I would always just click it when the drop-down box came up I would click again and hit search and you would bring that page up but even if I go to a site once I leave that I try to click and make the drop-down box come up again with the new search and it nothing happens so the problem is I need my drop down box to come back up to all the places that I visit kind of like a history of like I said I would just click and it would come up by itself now the drop-down box won't come up anymore so I need somebody to tell me what to do to bring my drop-down box back also I am new to computers so I don't know a lot so don't be real technical thanks for the help merry Christmas from Joe

    It's not a matter of me assuming to restore it, once the error comes up, the only next step I can do is to restore it. I can't access any of the iphones settings in itunes or anything, it's a mandatory restore. If I just cancel the sync (before restoring) and disconnect the phone, all my apps crash on opening: aka unusable phone. So I have literally no choice but to restore every time the error shows up if I want my phone to work.
    I have no idea where I may have duplicate files as it doesn't tell me, so if that is the problem (which I don't think it is) then I don't know where I have to go to delete the duplicates.
    And the duplicate file error still doesn't explain why leaving iTunes to restore the phone doesn't work and me having to drag the window around. I know it sounds utterly ridiculous, my friend didn't believe me when I told him either but then I showed him and he was as confused as I am. If I just leave the restore to do its own thing at it's own pace, it will loa maybe 20% then fail for whatever reason.

  • Drop-link assistant in address book to other business or person

    While working with the Address Book, I often have (assistants, spouses, etc.) which I already have an entry for, that I would like to be able to drop / drag into the "assistant, spouse" field in Address Book to link these people.  If you enter the correct spelling etc., Addr. Book does a pretty good job in finding links, but this would be a sure thing.

    Hi,
    I tested this issue and I can reproduce it in my environment. However, as far as I know, this behavior won't affect the usage of the address book.

  • Only some of my folders are in the drop down when I try to bookmark a page. I have many more folders, but can't bookmark to them

    I used to be able to choose from all folders when bookmarking a site. I was able to click on 'Choose' and all folder would drop down. After a firefox update yesterday, only 5 folders show up, along with the 'Choose' option. When I click on 'Choose' it takes me to to 'UnSorted Bookmarks'.
    Has this happened to anyone else and how do I get out of this?

    Hi All,
    The exact same thing is happening to me. The drop down only shows 5 of my bookmark folders. Unless I hit "Choose" then they all show but I don't want to take the extra steps. I have 9 different folders and I want to be able to just bookmark a website and drop it into that folder. I end up forgetting which folders I have b/c I only see 5 of the 9. Yes I can see them all when I hit choose but that defeats the purpose of having the bookmark function be a quick & simple one. If I have to "Organize" the folders every single time I favorite a site then its pointless to even show 5 of the folders you might as well not show any. Furthermore I can't even choose the 5 folders I want to show (i.e. the ones I use the most). I would be happy if I could opt to have my top 5 folders in the drop down menu & then the ones I don't use as much be under choose. But there is no option (that I can find) that lets you do that. I've even deleted, renamed, repositioned the folders and nothing is working.
    Btw this only happens when I 1st bookmark a new page. Under Bookmarks I can see all of my folders & links (no problem). This only happens when I am 1st bookmarking a link & want to drop it into a folder I've created.
    Please let me know if there is a way to fix this or is this a system issues.
    Thank you,

  • No Drag and Drop?  No library adding?

    I just started using iTunes and my Windows 7 machine. I had been using my Mac PowerBook, but it finally died.
    So, I've downloaded a bunch of stuff from an online site. It's all in zipped folders on my desktop. I can't seem to drag and drop any of them into iTunes. So, I took the files out of the zipped folders and onto my desktop. Still the same problem. The only thing I've found to work was to click and play the song.
    Also, it used to be on my Mac that if I played a song in iTunes it would automatically copy the file into my iTunes folder. This doesn't seem to be the case with my PC.
    I have it checked off to keep my library organized. Not sure what else to do. Any help here??

    Make sure the setting to "Copy files..." also has a checkmark, if you want them copied to the itunes folder.
    I'm not sure why the unzipped files won't add to itunes unless you play them.
    Are you sure they're unzipped? Or are you trying to drag them into itunes from the zip envelope?
    Right-click > Show in Windows Explorer on one of those files that you played.
    What folder is it in?

  • Dropped my iphone in the lake, possible recovery

    So I was on the lake and happened to have my phone fall in, i grabbed it but it had already been completely submerged in the water. Is there anything that can be done to make this thing work again or is it a paperweight? I've dried it completely, even used a hair dryer.

    Whyild-
    I really believe the worst thing you can do is leave it wet for any period of time, or put it in something that may get debris in the phone. I was told that using the hair dryer would push water further into the phone. How much wetter can it get when it's been totally submerged?
    There's a silver strip that you can see when you look in the ear bud opening. You'll notice now, part of that strip is red. That's because it was exposed to water. There is no 'making up a story for Apple', which isn't the honest thing to do anyway. It may be too late now to recover your phone but it can't hurt anything to try. The warranty has now been negated.
    An Apple Tech told me on the phone a couple of weeks or so ago, that I was the only one he's talked to who was able to get the phone working again. So ...... you never know unless you try; nothing to lose. Good luck.
    I posted the message below on Feb 16, 2008. And the phone is still fine; has worked fine every day since. Nothing changed.
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6620459#6620459
    Well, I have a good experience to report. Or is it a bad experience with a good outcome? I dropped my iPhone in the toilet this morning. Took me a second to realize what had happened but then I moved faster than I have in years. The case I use is net on the sides and bottom so offered no protection. I immediately dried it and blew in every opening I found, tried it to see if it worked, ran to read these Discussions to see what to do, and discovered I shouldn't try it to see if it works! So I powered it off. It had been giving me error messages like something wasn't compatible, and it would blink on and off. The screen looked fine, I had my calendar and photos but I'd lost the Internet connection, and Edge, and had no AT&T service bars.
    Someone (haven't yet found it again) suggested trying a hair dryer, which I did on COOL cycle. I held it a bit away, alternated pointing it toward each opening, and did that for about 15 minutes or so. I then put it back on the dock, charged it, and synced it. While on the Dock, it would go on and off, ask if I wanted to power off, but I synced everything, left it on the dock charging until it was full and now ... it's fine.
    I should have powered it off right away; dodged a bullet there; but I believe the hair dryer, on cool, for a steady period of time helped speed up getting the moisture out, as opposed to letting it sit for a week drying naturally.
    Everything is working. Whew!! It won't be going in that room with me again!
    Will post again if anything changes.

  • Dropped iPhone in water?  Read my experience - you may not need to replace!

    I just wanted to let people know what happened to me when I dropped my phone in a sink full of water. First, I just want to say I really think Apple is great. The said they would "repair" my broken phone for only $250 which meant that they would just give me a brand new phone in exchange for mine. They don't have to do that but it's pretty cool that they do. The main reason I am writing this is that my phone is working perfectly after being submerged for a full second! I freaked out and got really upset when it happened and there was no help to be found online, so I'm writing this so that other people don't throw their phones away without at least trying to get it working. Here are the things I did, I'm not sure what did the trick maybe just the combination:
    Sat night dropped phone in water,
    dried it off right away and "tapped" the bottom of the phone against a paper towel for about 20 minutes. Water kept leaking out of the speaker holes.
    Then the phone freaked out for about 3 hours. My husband checked it when he got home and it was working almost perfectly. The on/off button didn't work and it kept telling me about a non-compatible device, but other than that it was working normally. Oh and there was a splotch of water under the screen in the corner.
    I decided to let the battery die and let it dry out before I plugged it into the wall charger. I let it dry out until Tuesday night and when I plugged it in it was working normally like nothing had ever happened!! I voided the warranty but I don't care I'm just glad I still have my phone. If you have just dropped your phone in the water don't give up on it!

  • Alter drop partition - hanging

    Hi all,
    I am trying to drop some partitions on several tables in my database. These tables generally have ~50,000 range partitions. When I ran my script to drop ~ 30,000 partitions in our dev db, it took about 2 hours to complete. Now in our production db, I am running a single drop command and its just hanging and hanging. Any ideas how I can dig deeper to find out why the different results? Running Oracle 11.2 on RHEL5.
    Thank you,
    Scott

  • At the top of my Mozilla home page, it lists the current URL site I am on. How do I delete them and the others in the drop down box? Highlighting and hitting delete does not work

    At the top of my Mozilla home page, it lists the current URL site, such as http://www.safeco.com, I am on plus the others in the drop down box. How do I delete them. Highlighting and hitting delete does not work.
    I am using windows Vista 007 and Mozila 3.6.1.3

    Do those entries have a yellow star at the far right?
    If they have then they are bookmarks. You can remove them if you open that link and click the star to open the Edit This Bookmark dialog and click the Remove button in that dialog.

  • Tables drop down when center is selected

    I've been using the same main template in CS3 for a year. I just tried to test out a Google adsense search bar and had trouble with positioning it, so I attempted to put it inside of a table. for some reason when I add a table to any page on the site the table now drops down below the content in the side bars as soon as I select "center" to center the table. It doesn't matter the size of the table. It's the weirdest thing. Take this page for example.. http://isuckatgolf.net/Beercartcontestants.html
    If I were to add a table of any size below the Pink "GIRLS OF GOLF" , the table drops to even with the bottom of the two side column banner gifs.
    If I add a table of any size below the "go to girls of golf II" it renders fine and can be centered no problemo.
    I also just made a new page from template, added a table in the main content area, no problem. Then I added the standard size banner gif that is on many pages of the site to the left sidebar, like we always do, and the table dropped down to just below the level of the bottom of the 140x600 sidebar gif. Any suggestions?
    Thanks very much,

    Hope someone can help me out on this. I've been working on this issue and discoverd that the main content is dropping down in design view in Dreamweaver CS3, but is rendering fine in IE6, 7, and Firefox. I put one page live with an empty table. So it appears that the problem of the main content of my site is only dropping below the side column content in design view in Dreamweaver, not when I test it or put it live. Very strange. I can deal with it if I have to, but is there maybe a setting somewhere that I messed up or something?
    To recap if I insert a table into a page anywhere near the portion of the main content area, as soon as I hit "middle" to pull the table to the center it drops down below the 140x600 pixel side bar gifs leaving a huge blank space. This appears to only happen in Dreamweaver desgin view, not in a browser where the placement is fine. Is this weird or what?
    here is one page with a blank table inserted http://isuckatgolf.net/danielle.html
    Looks fine to me, but in Dreamweaver the table and all content below shows up below the level of the two sidebar 140x600 gifs.
    Hope someone can advise.
    Thanks everyone.

  • Dropped my phone - screen black

    dropped my phone on concrete floor. screen black.

    I took it to Verizon store where I bought it. The helpful lady there held the on/off button and the bottom button simultaneously for 30 seconds, waited a minute and it came back. $0. Whew!

  • Mail drop not working

    So i wanted to send a 600MB file via mail drop, but when I dragged the file onto the mail window and hit send, instead of the window asking me if I wanted to send it via mail drop, it just started sending it. Now I have a slow connection and don't want to spend the next 90 minutes uploading something that cannot be downloaded, never mind clogging up my internet connection.
    So can anyone tell me how to ensure that mail drop actually works?
    Incidentally, in trashing the uploading file in Mail's Outbox to stop it, I can see the upload still continues as my network stats show full upload speed. Had to restart. Seems very buggy to me.

    Seems not. Shame.
    Because I'd not use this for anything small, and the only reason I wanted to was that it would automatically be deleted after 30 days, I'll just use the usual file sharing sites I already do, simply remembering to delete once they have it.
    MD seemed an interesting alternative, and while it may work from within Mail itself even though the confirmation box didn't show, the fact that it all looked good online, went up, then something 'crashed' before sending the message, makes my unlikely to try again.
    Apologies for venting and telling our lord and master, Apple, F**K them, earlier, was a bit frustrated is all, but what with issues with iOS8, now Yosemite, as if these things are meant to contain flaws that require the users to finish it off for them, while they update software and hardware so frequently, thus spreading themselves too thinly, don't pay their full share of taxes (like many of the big multi-national companies) I wish I didn't have to use them, but for me the alternative is worse, much worse, so they remain the lesser of all the evils right now. Still evil though!

  • Pinch open and close zoom (mac) not working in latest beta update

    Anybody know why pinch open close for the mac track pad suddenly does not zoom in the lastest beta update?

    I am typing out easy instructions for those that are new to entering values. I myself am no expert for sure. It took me awhile to figure it out and I got it to work. I was mad when the pinch to zoom didn’t work after I updated. Thank you '''cor-el''' for posting a fix.
    1. Go to a new tab, type in ''about:config'' hit enter
    2. Click the “I’ll be careful, I promise!” button
    3. Scroll down until you see “browser.gesture.pinch.in” right click on it and hit modify
    4. A drop down that says “Enter string value” appears type in ''cmd_fullZoomReduce''
    5. Click ok
    Find the other ones and do the same. After you have entered all four you should see them in bold and on the right under value you should see only this cmd_fullZoomReduce part.
    6.Once you have it all entered just close the tab and it should work.
    I didn’t have to quit Firefox for it to work, but you may.
    I’m using a MacBook Pro and it worked great, Hope this helps.

    Hello! Starting out for 2015 after about 7 years of just letting everything go after some really hard personal times.  Have a lot of work to do.  Several old accounts for small amounts dropping off 2015-2016 ;  No active revolving credit, use or open accounts as of 12/14 when we finally looked, only an open mortgage. Joint activity in this house as both of us, husband and wife, are pretty much in the same boat.  We had a series truly traumatic experiences and are hoping to rebound.  We are now used to purchasing solely on a cash basis so, using credit only as a tool to build our credit score should be no problem since for the past 7 years if we could not pay cash, we just waited til we could for everything. Goal:  Develop some lines of credit to start overshadowing the bad while working to get rid of the bad;  650 score by June 2015 first target Ultimate Goals:   Refinance mortgage before these low rates rise :  Maintain 720+ for both of us Steps Taken:  Since 12/16 did secure some starting credit lines to have a rebuild base: 1 - Fingerhut $500cl 2 - CapOne Quicksilver $300cl 3 - CapOne Platinum $300cl 4 - Walmart Store Card Auth User on spouse's new $300cl (they denied me, not sure why so took a hard hit there) Spouse since Nov 2014 has added: 1 - New Car Loan $27k 2 - Fingerhut $600cl 3 - WalMart Store Card $300cl 4 - CapOne Quicksilver $300cl 5 - CapOne Platinum $300cl 6 - CreditOne $300cl 7 - First Progress secured $300 (before she even imagined she would get unsecured approvals) 8 - Kay Jewelers $6000cl (really surprised with instore approval on this) Paid off one small collection we didn't know about from VZWireless now going back to VZ as we never stopped being a customer and they really screwed us up by not transferring balance when we went from personal to business account. Lots and lots of research reading on his forum as well as some other sites like Credit Karma etc:  using and paying to see movement in scores; PTD options; etc Pulled all credit reports ;  currently outlining plan for deletion of bad accounts;  all realy small amounts I could pay but need to invest the time to get PTD not just paid.Some start falling off on their own in Feb 2015 so, need to start a priority plan on who stays on longest and get rid of them. Hoping by joining and continuing on the forums for guidance we will keep the momentum to aggressively clean this up quickly and not just let the old stuff roll off over the next 14 months. Good luck everyone!!
