Write GW's letters from the heart and tell the truth why the accounts ended up in collections. Only used GW's from this site as a reference.
Let them know your have worked very hard to get your FICO scores higher and clean up your credit.
Make your last statement asking them to delete the tradelines. I got all my tradelines deleted recently. I used different styles and techniques when writing to them. I wasn't mean or nice with them. I was all business and even file complaints with the BBB against some.
All the creditors who I had to deal with initially stated they were not going to remove tradelines and its against its policy. Be persisent, consistent and clever. You will get what you want.
