Re: How do I know what to pay first and what to let fall off?

Send DVs to each CA. If they verify and you agree, then send a PFD.

 

ETA...per falling off, you need to know when CRTP is up, and of course that's based on the DOFD of the debt. If falling off soon, then that's your call to sit it out or pursue it. IMO, if it were mine, I'd pursue PFDs now even if it were to fall off very soon. Even after it disappears, they can collect forever and the balances are small anyway. Less to worry about in the future.
