It sounds as if the item in questions is about to fall off of your credit report according to the seven years rule. However in the mean time here is what you do I would send a letter of VALIDATION: here are the key points that you should ask for An explanation of what the amount owed is for and how it is incurred An explanation of how this amount was caluculated Copies of documents that show I agreed to pay the amount you state Indetification of the original creditor Proof that the staute of limitations has not expired on this account Proof that you are licensed to collect in my state The name and address of your bonding agent Your license numbers and Registered Agent Documentation Now file a complaint with your state's attorney general's office and the Federal Trade Comission. Now dispute with the three credit bureaus and demand them to provide your with the documentation of this debt Now go the FTC web site and learn all about fair debt collections and go to your states Web site and learn about the statute of limitiations on debt When you file complaints and write letters send all correspondence certified retrun receipt and write the number on all of your letters in case this thing goes to court. Yes, this is a lot of writing, but worth it. Good Luck, staff off of the phone
