What to attack next??

I recently attacked my accounts and paid off about $4000 in credit Debt, my EQ score went up 23 points to 595,  I am now left with the following bills

 

Student Loan $1800 ( I pay 212 a month)

Chase Credit Account Balance $1500 new monthly payment is $80 a month (Balance used to be almost $5000)

Target Card $720 Balance I pay them about 100 a month

 

Also I have 3 accounts that apparently went to collections when I was unemployed in 2004, one is $660, $520 and the other $85, I have written PFD letters and have not heard anything back…so I guess my question is what should be my next moves? Should I pay more debt completely off? Or is it best to keep making timely payments on the three open accounts? Also assuming I do not hear anything from my PFD efforts how positive will the results be when I pay off the collection accounts?

What is the min. payment on your SL?
 
List you collections   with dates  DOFD/DOLA
 
What is you SOL?
 
Always DV a CA  before a PFD                 If the OC is reporting  and the OWN the account  PFD them before doing anything with the CAs
