We need to know what the baddies are and what the DOFD  DOLA  and your SOL is.
 
Things under public records are hard to do anything about BUT at times can be deleted.
 
   how to post items
 
1 Cap1    CL/owed ( 1000/400)    CO   DOFD   2/1/2002   dola  4/1/2002
 
to get DOFD  look at TU and EX CR   EQ uses DOLA         CR might also say * will remain on CR until  month/ year
 
Scores involve many things on your CR.......35% is about length of history  30% is CC  UTIL any payment    the rest is made up of your mix of credit ( auto loan  mortgage  personal loans etc)

I would recommend looking in the other end of that particular telescope. You, like most people with credit dings, are focused on CR entries that, while ugly, probably aren't actually doing that much damage to your score.

What you should focus on are getting and maintaining positive entries in your credit report. Do you have at least three lines of revolving credit, with low (less than 10% of the limit) balances? If not, I would recommend acquiring some. Check out my informational Web site on FICO scoring.

Without positive lines of credit (I call them "Blues") your FICO score isn't going to go up that much, even after the derogatory items fall off.
