Current Collections> How should I handle the remaining debt, any advice

Centerpoint utility bill for $149.00 dated 10/2006, This would appear to be too old to report - verify the DoFD

 

Public Storage for $58.00 dated 01/2015 ~ Going to make a Payment today. PFD?

 

Transtar Federal Credit Union dated $336.00 01/2010 (this was a secured account that was charged-off) Revolving? if so it hurts your UTI%....

 

ARS $1231.00 dated 05/2014 ~ This was fraud-someone used my insurance for an ambulance ride and ER visit...Obtained Police Report Read FCRA 605B so you fully understand what docs to supply, as well as the CRA's obligation to exclude within 4 days or explain why they are not doing so.

 

Commonwealth (Utility Bill) $932.00  ~ Sent DV Letter (No Response with 30 days...I live in Texas) Did you SPECIFICALLY reference the relevant Texas Financial Code, and list the individual requirements palced on the collector? Cause otherwise they are going to assume the DV is under FDCPA...

 

Conserve (University/School $867.00 06/01/2011 ~ Should I make arrangements?  Will this change the date of the debt if I do so? No, it will not change the date.

 

Okinus (Furniture) $616.00  12/2009 (Reported only on Equifax) PFD?

 

The Best Service (Bank Overdraft) $247.00 ~ Sent DV Letter See above for TX DV

Medical $494.00 07/2013 ~ Sent DV Letter                                       ^^^^

Medical $215.00 09/2012 ~ Sent DV Letter                                       ^^^^

Centurion $310.00 10/2014 ~ Sent DV Letter                                    ^^^^

Would it be better if I pay the Transtar Federal Credit Union in full or settle?

Either would be fine, IMO. PIF 'looks better' on your reports, but for scoring its no different.

Re: PAID OFF CREDIT CARDS!! YAAY /ADVICE NEEDED

Just spoke with Transtar Federal Credit Union,  and they are not willing to delete or settle.  I was told that fee's and interest has also been added and instead of paying 336.00 that is being reported I would have to pay $510.00, and he would report paid in full.  What you think about that?
