PFD is a good move!. Also have you tried a GW letter for the paid collections? How old are both the paid and unpaid collections? Any late payments?

I paid the state tax lien and sent them GW. Most of the collection accounts are from 2004.I have orchard credit card for just over a year. No late payment. I just got BOA secured credit card. I went to credit union last week and opened a secured loan of 1000 dollars.
 
Thanks

It looks like a wait and see for now but you are going about it well. I like the fact you got yourself a couple of CCs and a loan...diluting the bad with good, positive TLs. I hope something good comes out of this for you. Just remember to be friendly but persistent with the GWs and PFDs. Keep sending them if they don't work the first time around.

I want to Thank you all. I know I will see great results soon.

For some reason everyone loves Blue from American Express. I have read in other topics that they dont care about the customers, decrease the credit limit or freezes the account without notice.
