not to hijack op's thread...but I have a smilar question:
I wrote a bad check (KS) to Domino's Pizza that I didn't know bounced. Yes, I know.
um, A collection agency notified me a few weeks after I wrote the check and I immediately drove down and paid the amount they asked for in full, I believe it was around $100 (for a $18 check!)
Anyways, I just pulled my EX and TU and CBCS Collections has a listing in my negative area for $18. status says: paid, closed/collection account.
Anyways to get this off? I'm trying to reach the 600 club ASAP! (current FICO/TU 569, FAKO/EX 520)
