For your husband's charge-offs, since they're already paid, a PFD won't work. They need a goodwill (GW) letter.
You can use a PFD for your unpaid charge-off. Check the "Frequently Requested Threads" thread stickied at the top of several boards, and look through the threads in there. There are two GW threads, by the way, one near the bottom that a lot of people miss.
I'm moving your thread to General Credit Issues, where they post more about how to do this. Good luck!
