A simple letter saying to remove all au accounts?

Simple letter, disputing items on your credit report. Put each account on a separate line and you are stating it is not your account. If you send a blanket remove all AU they could throw it out.

For AU removal, it's overkill.

I noticed that some of my "high balances" are higher then my credit limit due to shifting credit after my balance was paid.
Does this adversely affect my score?

DP: called to dispute AU's. TU had them removed by next day. Still waiting (few days) for EX.
(EX rep told me that TU can remove immediately with dispute, but it's still pending the final investigation result.)

How do you dispute having AU cards on the credit report?
On the report it classifies it as an AU card so what do you say to get them to take it off the report?

Yes. They told me it should be removed automatically.
