Best Answer

1. Get a copy of your current credit report. (I have used www.freecreditreport.com which can provide all reports from all 3 credit agencies for around $40.)

2. Write up letters to each collection agency asking why each account was opened along with the account balance.

3. Get the letter certified, copied and send them to the collection agency.

4. (Read both of these steps)

If the collection agency replies: you can "Ask For Forgiveness" from them and offer a different ammount than the full balance and barter, be sure that the letter of forgiveness stats that even though you did not pay the shown balance that they close the account and say it was paid in full.

If after 30 days the collection agencies do not reply you can contact the collection reporting agencies in which the negative note was placed and provide them with the copied documents showing that 30 days has passed and the collection agency has not replied. The mark will be then be removed.
