Hmm ... I wonder if they have an edit limit where old edits get erased if you keep editing, sort of like that trick someone came up with years ago for pinging the credit bureau so many times so that eventually your credit looked better since old items were erased or not considered for your credit score ... or something.

That sounds hilarious. You don't happen to remember or have a source for that, do you? Would love to read more.

It's called "bumpage" or "B*" on forums. People were leery of using the word back in the day because they thought the bureaus might catch on. It doesn't work anymore.

Anybody with good intentions won't have 300k/y to pay.
