How to settle collections??

Hello everybody. I am wondering how to settle my final collections and would appreciate any and all of the feedback I can get. I currently have several items in collections that I am ready to tackle in preparation for a mortgage to come this summer or fall. I have a collection from

  • Charter cable company for $201.00 that shows on all 3 of my reports.
  • T-mobile that shows on all 3 reports settled in full and due to fall off in June of this year. 
  • OAC-medical collections for 191.00and another for $43.00 that shows on all 3 reports
  • Midwest Emergency Dept medical for $356.00 that shows on Experian only

I am ready to settle these debts but I am not sure how to go about doing it so any and all advice is greatly appreciated.

  • T-mobile that shows on all 3 reports settled in full and due to fall off in June of this year. Call the CRAs and ask for the early exclusion

 

  • OAC-medical collections for 191.00and another for $43.00 that shows on all 3 reports
  • Midwest Emergency Dept medical for $356.00 that shows on Experian only

For medical debt:

1. Call the OC and ask that they recall the collection in exchange for full payment
2. Send the reporting CA a PFD offer
3. Google the HIPAA Process and contact its creator for help

 

I am ready to settle these debts but I am not sure how to go about doing it so any and all advice is greatly appreciated.
