First National Bank Of Marin
Settlement Paid but Not Reported as Paid on Credit Report

I admit I was young and dumb when I opened my account w / FNBM. Let's just say I failed to keep up on my end of the bargain when it came to closing the account. I had a final payment of thirty some odd dollars to close the account. I sent in the money order a couple days late and low and behold I an outrageous late fee had been added to my account. I figured, hey it was my fault. So I continued another "final payment" to close this account. Again it happened.

After a couple months of trying to close an account w / unexplainable interest and late fees, I got frustrated and just stopped! I had no idea how the world of credit worked like most teenagers. Then I started getting the collector calls for an acct that had sprung up to $804.00 that was originally $30.00.

Almost a year later, I started working in the client communication center for a collection agency. I began to learn how it all worked. I was advised by one of our legal specialist, that I was better off settling the account. So I called the original creditor (FNBM) to offer a settlement of $403.00 to clear my credit report. The representative I spoke w / told me that my settlement would be reported to the 3 major credit bureaus as paid within 30 days. I paid them in one lump sum by cashier's check and 2 months later my account has yet to be reported as "paid".
