I just want them to do as they told me they would i jumped at a moments notice to make almost the impossible happed and succeded, and they told me out of their own mouths that there would be no charge off if i did what they asked me to do. I have disputed at least 4 times, each time they change a word or 2 and it is just updated and thats not right.iT HAS XXXX  MY CREDIT SCORE wich in turn has cost me a great deal of money in intrest cost if being approved at at please help me with getting this charge off removed from my report, and i dont even know if i would be able to recover any of the funds that it has cost me but more than anything i just want it gone so my score can rebound and i can get on with my life thank you sir or maam
