HELP!!!! SECURE CHECK, LLC RUINING MY CREDIT -- DOWN 40+ POINTS

I HAVE WORKED SO HARD AND NOW THIS......
I had a RETURNED CHECK from a checking account that I closed out last year and another RETURNED CHECK from an account they say in 2001.  The 2001 as you can see below is reporting as OPENED 02/01/2008. 
I paid Secure Check months back after I saw the one (#834) hit TU and wasn't aware of it for the first one.  After payment it was reported to EX and EQ. 
The JULY 11TH 2001 one I did not even know about.  Since then, it has hit EQ and EX today.  It cost me over 40 points on EX alone.  How can I get rid of these?  Here is how they are reading:

Not sure on returned checks, but can you DV Secure Check?? This is almost past or past CRTP if it is from 2001.

If this is inaccurate information, which it doesn't sound like it is, you could always dispute with the CRAs as "Not Mine".

If it is accurate, you can try writing a GW letter to them. There are a lot of examples letters posted everywhere. If you do a search I'm sure you could find something to use as a template.
Here we go again...

Sorry, I had to go back and re-read. If it was from July 11, 2001, then it should be removed from EX  by August this year. If not, dispute as obsolete.
 
They can report the opened 2/08 date as the date they actually received this account. It doesn't mean they re-aged it like I misunderstood at first.
 
The one you paid, I would suggest sending a GW letter.

Follow the advice given and add credit report lock on your credit reports!  I know atleast Equifax offers it! Or you can go to lifelock.com to stop people from running your credit without your permission!
Rebuilding and Reducing Debt, is my game plan.
